Hi all, I'm looking to register my TY. I've contacted Yamaha, they cannot provide any details as the factory records no longer exist. They have suggested contacting an owners club to obtain age verification?

 

I have emailed DVLA with details downloaded from web sites, to confirm age ranges, these are not acceptable to them as proof of age

 

Does anyone have any ideas how I can get proof of age?

I’m not a member of them but try the VJMC - I would think they can help for a small fee.

DVLA will only accept clubs listed here.    Yam Air cooled & VJMC

Or VMCC will do it but not cheap..........https://www.vmcc.net/Library-and-DVLA-Forms

I used the link below to purchase a dating letter for a 83 Honda I’ve just finished, Dvla had no issues with it and registered my bike first time
