Afternoon all,
just in the process of getting my paper work for my 4l0 ready to send to the dvla. Does anyone have the name of a company who will insure on the vin plate? The couple I have tried want the reg number. Also any thoughts on the v55, l don’t have a country of origin as the bike came from DK Motorcycles.
Cheers

I don’t think you need insurance now to register the bike

Insurance isn't necessary to register a bike any longer, however companies like Footman James will insure on the Frame number but you will need to call them or go on the website and ask for a call back. I have my restoration projects insured in this way until they are registered and its only a phone call to let them know the Reg number once you receive the DVLA confirmation.

RH will insure on a VIN number too.

Footman James will insure on a vin and won't chase you for a reg number after a few weeks
As for country of origin the details will be known by HMRC as to get a NOVA you need to say where it came from
Also if you speak to Yamaha Cust Services about a dating letter they will usually say where it was built for

They just insure it as "laid up" for fire and theft and accidental damage. Adds virtually nothing to a multi bike policy and worth it for peace of mind. |

Hi everyone, thanks for that. Just a thought if the bike is not insured when registered does it have to be sorned straight away?

When you apply for a new V5, you have to tax it at the same time (£55) but like peeps have said DVLA aren't interested in insurance now, just want some more cash off you !

DVLA haven't needed insurance to process a V55 for quite a few years now.
