How to register a Moto x

[jay81]

Can anyone tell me if there is another way to register my 1984 cr 250 if I can’t get a letter of date of manufacture from Honda UK?

I have applied for such letter but they seem to be dragging their feet a lot and were wondering if anybody could shed some light on how to and whether or not it was worth looking in to a Q plate.

If I went down the Q plate road does this mean that it will have to go for a MSVA test?

I had a look at doing this a wee while ago.

Here is some information for you:

1 get bike mot'ed
2 book bike in for sva test (they just check frame and engine numbers)
3 pay fees and tax
4 wait for log book to come through
5 get number plate made
6 ride and enjoy

the only difference between Q plate and age related plate in the prosses is you dont need a dating letter for a Q plate everything eles is the same

Q plate can mean higher insurance.

Why convert a MX bike when an already registered 'enduro' bike probably makes more sense for road use anyway ...

Dating letter doesn't HAVE to come from Honda UK, just a 'recognised authority'.

Registered a lot of Italian imports on dating letters from the Italian Motorcycle Owners Club.

But any club that has some kind of 'authority' could do the trick.

One of the Wops we registered was a 1971 Moto-Guzzi 'Trotter' moped. chaps at Moto-Guzzi club had never even heard of it, IMOC, said 'didn't know Moto-Guzzi MADE a bike that small'

Got a Dating letter off them for it though, after we sent them photo's of it, & some photo-copies of pics in Italian sales brochures, and a copy of the tax disc it still had attached that expired in January 1973! THAT was ALL they knew about the Moto-Guzzi Trotter, what WE told them, but thier letter headed note to DVLA saying that 'they' were 'of the opinion' it was a 1972 model Trotter Moped, got it a UK number-plate!

Have you tried the Vintage Scrables clubs? May be worth a try. Or the Honda Owners Club.

Thanks for the advice.
Now you said about the scrables club or Honda owner club that would explain why someone said that they used someone on the Isle of Wight and that it only took a week to get back to them.

One more thing, is it possible to get frame numbers re stamped as the last two on my frame are not very clear and i don’t know if DVLA will pick up on it?

Any idea if the DVLA will question me about the frame numbers? Its only one letter really that could be a 8 or a 3.
