Q plate

[rommel]

I am trying to sell my bike that I bought back off the insurers do I need a Q plate to reregister it if it was put back on the road.
It was written off due to economics not due to serious damage :)

Quote" A Vehicle Identity Check (VIC) will apply to those vehicles notified to the DVLA as being written off on or after 7 April 2003. For information please refer to INF133 available from the Vehicle Operator Services Agency (VOSA). Information is also available from the VOSA Website www.vosa.gov.uk.

Any vehicle, which has failed VIC, will not be entitled to retain its original registration mark, DVLA Local Office will allocate a 'Q' registration mark and an Enhanced Single Vehicle Approval (ESVA)/ Single Vehicle Approval (SVA)/ Motorcycle Single Vehicle Approval (MSVA) certificate will be required."

"Motorcycles must use:
Unmodified Frame (original or new)
And two other major components from the original vehicle :Forks, Wheels, Engine/gearbox " unquote (from the DVLA website http://www.dvla.gov.uk/vehicles/regrebil.htm )

Which means to me that they'll check the ID of the Vehicle and if you can prove it's the same machine using a reasonable number of the same parts you can keep the same licence number...otherwise its join the Q.
