Road Legal, MOT, Insurance etc

Hello Everyone i was just wondering if because my trials bike is road registered it doesn't mean it's road legal does it ? because I thought you needed a horn a speedo meter brake lights and indicators.

Quick one and maybe a silly question ! Can the 125's be road registered, they don't seem to be any second hand road reg 125 bikes at all for sale. I know these are mainly for youth riders so probably no need to register but im just wondering if you can register them when bought new ? Cheers

Hi. My bike is coming up to 3 years old and will shortly need its first MOT. Can someone please advise what I need to pass the MOT?? Do I need working lights, brake light? (god I hope not as all wiring stripped when bike was new) If so, is there a simple and quick fix to pressing the pedal and making the brake light work?? Obviously need a horn but can strap one on no problems Ta muchly

who will insure a 2010 300 gasser on a frame number so i can get bike road reg ????? CHEERS

Hi anybody insured the post 2014 259cc 4rts for road use with a normal insurance company. Only seem to recognise the 249cc versions.

Hi, sorry if this is a stupid question but I cant seem to find a definitive answer anywhere ....I'm over 24 years old, and want to ride trials that might involve a bit of road work , what's the minimum licence I need ? Is A2 enough?

Morning All, Due to my age being 23 when I took my test, and after January 2013 I could do my full bike test but only have a a2 licence meaning I am restricted to 47bhp and no more than a 0.2kw/kg power to weight ratio. so im wondering if any body out there actually noes the BHP of a 2015 sherco 300? its the power to weight im worried about. sherco state it weighs 68kg and 0.2kw equates to 0.268bhp, there for the bike would have to be 18bhp to be legal? could any one in the no please shed some light Many Thanks

Hi folks I am part way through a process of registering a Yamaha TY175, I've sent in the V62 with fees, and some follow up photos and bike description after an email from DVLA. Four months later.....I've received a V55/5 form from DVLA that is for first tax and vehicle reg (Im guessing they could not find any original number) This form assumes you are a likely a dealer and that you have a certificate of conformity, so Im wondering if anyone out there has gone through this process and obtained a cert of conf? Did they even produce such docs in 1980? I heard I could write to yamaha UK and get information but is it bike specifi or just general for all TY 175…

Hi, my Montesa 123 is somewhere around 1972 in age... does anyone know where I can get a certificate of age so that I can get an age related plate. I don't think there is an owners club.

Got a 71 M80 Bultaco Sherpa project on the go. If I want to register it with an age related page I'm thinking I'm best to do it before restoration so that it is clearly original. As it's over 40 years old it should be tax and MOT exempt but can you register the bike without these or do you still need them for first registration? Cheers.

Hi all, I recently bought a Rev3 250 (2004) complete with a V5... What do I need to do now to get her on the road? M.O.T - Do I need a brake light? (I'll have to check over the tyres for markings) Horn Number Plate

I just got old dt125 off flebay as far I know has no nova its been for sale on ebay on and off is it easy to apply hmc for

The bike is a 1985 Honda RTL that I bought from Steve Saunders, it came with no V5 I want to get a V5 sorted - how do I go about it? Any advice would be great. Joe

Bike in for an MOT tomorrow and trying to work out how best to attach the plate? I have a legal (9"x7") plate and a smaller plate for off road use. The MOT tester is pretty off-road friendly, so hopefully they'll cut me some slack in this regard. Looking at the rear mudguard (Beta Rev 3 4T) , I can't see it taking the weight of the standard plate without dropping it onto the tyre. I guess I'll have to make up a bracket and secure it to the top of the mudguard where the plastic is a bit more substantial. Any other ideas?

Just bought a new 250 gas gas. Contacted Bennett's who insured my 300 and renewed it 3 days ago. They won't insure the new bike even though I've a spotless record and the bike less powerful. They say that their underwriters just won't cover it. Go Aviva to accept it no problem, go figure. Just thought I'd warn everyone with Bennett's that they appear to be changing their thinking on trials bikes.

Looking to find out what brands or ccs affect trials bike Road insurance? Not got a bike yet, but will want to use on the road also so looking for info on how trials boke insurance price is affected?

Hi, has anyone got any pointers to find best priced road insurance for a 16 year old?

Does anyone have any advice on insuring a Beta 50? Obviously it

Hi All, I just purchased a Beta Sincro but because it is a new model, insurance companies haven't listed it yet. The bike is road registered and DVLA were happy to take my road tax payment immediately even though I can't use it on the road. Any thoughts please? Naturally I am particularly anxious to have the bike insured against theft if nothing else.

Does any one know where i can insure my classic trials bikes against theft? i dont have a road liscence so cant get insurance under that all i want is to be able to put my classic off road bikes under my home insurance but alas i cant find a company which will allow me to do it. any help much appreciated james
