Hi everyone,

I'm looking at getting my new evo insured for theft. It's road registered as the dealer offered to sort all that out for me and i figured it may be best in the long run. At the moment I only want insurance for theft etc. My plan was to SORN it as soon as the paperwork comes through.

I spoke to Carol Nash today who said I need an MOT to insure it as it's road registered. Not sure if this is the case however if i sorn it?

Can anyone confirm as i don't want to pay out for an MOT if not necessary!

Thanks

Hugh

Try MSM.

What he said

[hugh_b]

I did try MSM but they also said i needed an MOT, maybe they miss-heard me when I said it was new?

I'll give them a call again tomorrow.

Interestd to know how you can register a new bike with out taxing it and to tax it you must have insurance.

Am I the only one who is confused ?

If its a new bike why does it need a MOT? MOT only required for vehicles 3 years old.

Well, the dealer in questions has registered it for me. As far as i'm aware, I have paid for tax. They register the bike in their name and then transfer it across to myself or something along those lines. It all went over the top of my head a little whilst in the shop as I was trying to sort so much out.

you must have the wrong end of the stick

my bikes insured with MSM, its not MOt'd as its not even only a year old so no need.
