Well he's got 400+ positive feedback.

But why does he want one with a v5 ? Has he been having hassle and wants to pass it on to some one else to have the hassle ?

does make you wonder....

lots end up on the Track , not for me

if its cat b its been rocoverd then. 4 digits gone and due to not being able to restamp a frame by law they write the frame off?

[lee1 1]

I think the last four digits will be removed due to cat b,the insurance may have asked this to be done instead of cutting the head stock off

didnt know they did that? mate bought back his zx6r cat b back as frome was bent like a booger and nubers were there. and dave sutton who did join here he bought back his rs125 cat b. unless its due to it not going to auction?

personally that wouldnt worry me above, if i get this free cbr600 i know the history it was scrapped as electrics are boogerd but i want it as a track toy.

This what should happen or use to happen to cat b

1.A CoD should be completed using the DVLA online system for all Category B vehicles purchased from Bluecycle
2.Details of the CoD should be forwarded to Bluecycle within one month of the vehicle purchase
3.A copy of the CoD should be retained for possible further auditing
4.Motorcycles are required to have the headstock removed from the frame. This should be retained and will be subject to further auditing
5.All vehicles with a separate cab and chassis are required to have the chassis section holding the stamped VIN cut out. This should be retained for further auditing

Original post in this thread seems quite normal.

He's bought a writen-off bike that still go's
OK but cant be re-registered for the road
(but is great for a race track)

and now he wants a trackday bike he CAN
register on the road.

I know several folk here and in the UK using
insurance write-of's as race bikes.

Cat b's should be broken for parts not sold on as track bikes. Scrap dealers are forbidden to sell the bike as a whole hence the digits being filed off. Because it cant be traced back to him once seized. No number no trace!

The guy wants rid of the bike because its dodgy and if the police come to a track day it bye bye bike as he has no V% can never get a V5 and to make it even worse the frame numbers damaged.

The person who buys this bike is playing with fire as the police will just seize it full stop!

So this is dodgy!
