Hi All.
I would like to get my 200 Fantic road registered. What do i need to do?

Thank-you.
Steve.

a simple process that you can easily do in a week. can be done in a day but a weeks fair.

get a letter from the bikes importer or an authority on the marque stating the frame and engine no of your bike and what year it was manufactured.
get the bike mot'd ( use the frame no. )
get the bike insured on the frame no. ( probably the hardest part , most firms wont touch it but the carole nash's will but will only have it on the frame no for a month or so)
get down the local dvla office with your paperwork and money and the jobs done..

SOME BUT NOT ALL dvla centeres will want to see the bike some will not be interested in seeing it. some will see it when you take the paperwork in. some will want you to come back with the bike . some will send a guy round to your house. there simply is no consistancy with this bit.

in reality its pain free and wotrth it for those road trials or a bit of green laning .. good luck.

Speak to DVLA, surprisingly helpfull. Document V848 "How to register your old vehicle" Also how to obtain an age related plate - give info. You will need a V55/5 form. Also ask for INF34 if your bike is over 25 yrs old. V765 to register under its original no. V100 has a lot of info.

Thank-you for that. I have just re-built the engine so have had a good look over all of its surface looking for an engine number. It does not seem to have one. This i think will pose a problem when trying to register it. Any ideas?
