Can I register this bike?

[neptune8]

Just suppose I bought a motorcycle that was made in 2002, and had never been registered for road use. Could I register this bike for road use, or would that be impossible due to it not meeting the latest Euro emission standards?

You should be able to as long as its road legal and meets requirements.

It has to meet current C&U and have a current MOT.

If you don't want a Q-plate then you'll be asked to show some evidence of its age.

Owners Clubs seem to have been deputised for this purpose

A new registration requires a "certificate of newness". Even if OP had one, it would be dated 2002, right?

There's insufficient data for a meaningful answer, so we can only do what BCF does best, and speculate.

I registered a new old stock Dnepr M11 from the 1990s a few years ago. As it was a homologated(?) model it was pretty straightforward and was given a year correct plate. They typically cant retrospectively apply newer emissions standards to an old model and they arent as strict in bikes. Owners clubs and the manufacturer can help with confirming age of the vehicle.

Yes, you can. I believe if you offer them proof of manufacture (Honda Owners Club) you will get an age related plate, the same as for grey market imports, as the model has not been manufactured in the last two years. (The CGs stil being made in the world are I understand a different model)

You'll need to make an application for first registration at your local DVLA Office.
