The bike is currently unregistered. The registration process is reasonably uncomplicated.

We have not got the American Title (Registration Document). we have only got the certificates from Customs & Excise to prove we have paid VAT & duty. these will be provided with the bike with the official V55/5 forms for 1st registration application.

REGISTRATION

1. You need to get the bike MOT’d.

2. You need to prove the year of manufacture. Phone North Leicester Motorcycles on 01530 263381 with the frame & engine Numbers. for a small fee they will send you a letter confirming the age.
