Thanks for the help everyone. I now have the NOVA reference number just waiting for the insurance cover note then will give it a try. Thanks Again.

The dealer imported it (Craig's Motorcycles) and I have the original receipt, but the receipt is not in my name as we are the second owner, the first owner sold it to us before he got around to registering it. Can I send the purchase receipt to DVLA instead of applying to HMRC for a NOVA1? It does show that VAT was paid on the original purchase.

Thank you, One other question, with it being registered as a new bike (not a used bike) with a cert of newness do I still need the confirmation letter from HMRC (Nova 1)?

Hi, does anyone know if the Type Approval Exemption for Trials Bikes still applies. I am trying to road register a 4RT and I I have the certificate of newness. The DVLA guidance notes for registering a vehicle in 2012 (form V355) said: Competition motorcycles are excluded from the EU type approval system (vehicles intended for use in competition, on roads or in off-road conditions) Directive 2002/24/EC Article 1. Para. 1, item d) and thus from Motorcycle single vehicle approval (MSVA) as well. The only competitions involving road use, and hence the registration of motorcycles are trials and enduros. Motorcycles to be registered for such events must comply with the following specifications: 1. They must be intended for use in competition. 2. Trials motorcycles: a. maximum seat height of 700mm, b. minimum ground clearance of 280mm, and c. maximumfueltankcapacityof4litres. This form seems to have been replaced with forms V355/4 and V355/5 which do not mention type approval and the only current reference on the .gov website is this one: https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-approval/exemptions-from-vehicle-approval This does not list competition trials bikes. My question is if i put 'exempt-trials bike' on the form as we have done for years, will it be accepted? Thanks.

I have got mine insured at Bennetts. It is down on their computer system as a Bultaco Sherco.

It can be made to fit but will not go straight in without having some smaller spacers machined up

I think it depends on what rear shocks you are using. Standard TY rear shocks you want 15mm-20mm of the forks above the yolks (yoke's ??). I have just put some Betor shocks on mine which are about 25mm longer than standard and then you want the top of the folks level with the yolks.

Doug fourth - was in third until he fell off '5' in the race and left the door open for fuji.

Somebody handed me a leaflet as I left hawkstone about Proskins it had this website on it http://www.completetrialscoaching.com/shop.php Hope this helps

I have the full lighting kit from an 05 280 pro which is everything they put on from the factory - front light, rear light, indicators!, handlebar mounted controls, and all associated wiring (all except the sensors mounted on the brake levers for the brake light) It was taken off the bike as soon as I got it and I dont have that bike anymore. I assume that this will fit the 04 if you're interested pm me
