i am potentially buying a Honda BROS 400CC motorbike very soon, as the DVLA website and another brokers (which i am not buying from) say that as long as it is under 33Bhp that you can ride it, i am 17, also the brokers website said that the Honda BROS and the Honda CB 400’s do not need limiting as they already meet the spec for a CBT rider of 17, is this true?
bottom line…. the most you can ride at 17 in the uk on a CBT is a 125.
when i was 16 (5years ago) i bought a 50cc scooter and when i turned 17 i did my bike test (the same one you will do) which allowed me to ride any motorcycle which does not make more than 33bhp.
soooooooo like you i bought a bros 400 (nice choice by the way, bullet proof) because it was exactly 33bhp. in theory you could buy a gsxr 1000 or any huge bike…. as long as you get a mechanic to restrict it and he gives you documentation to prove it.
on your cbt you will have to do it on a 125….. the only other choice is a 50.
after cbt you will need to do a theory and then practical test (but hurry up, the pratical test gets harder from september because method of testing changes.)
cbt £100
theory £40
3 days bike training with a school £300
practical (usually included for free by the training school) £50
your first legal ride out on your own…. PRICELESS.
How can i register a motorbike with no frame number?
I’ve just bought a stolen/recovered motorbike. It’s a DR125 which has been used on the fields. I would like to get it back on the road. I have bought a new engine for the bike which has engine numbers, however the frame numbers have been removed. I got a full receipt with the bike when i purchased it. Is there anyway of re-registering the bike??
Most are right on here, although i would have thought the vehicle inspector would know a little more lol.
If you apply to DVLA with no frame numbers they issue a ‘q’ plate registration which is completely legal etc and you can mot it no probs.
BUT
If you go to DVLA and ask for a copy of V5 which costs you £25 you will get the original frame number off the document. You can then have the frame restamped and vic checked by vosa. Just because a frame number has been removed doesnt mean it cant be re stamped.
I know this from numerous times we have cut off headstocks and such for rake reworks and restamped the frame in another place as guided by vosa.
The only problem is why the frame number is gone in the first place, either stolen or more likely an insurance write off and the assessor has removed the frame number before salvage rights have been given. Do a HPi check it will tell you. You may find its a cat b or cat A write off so you cant use back on the road anyway. Cat A must be crushed, Cat B can be used for parts only. Cat C and D are the only catergories allowed back on the road (cat c needs a vic test if car not if motorcycle)
