This is how to register an off road MX type bike on a daytime MOT; it get's your bike legally on the road 1) Get a certificate of newness ( for an age related plate)If you want it on an age related plate then get a certificate of newness (for KTM you just call up www.ktm.co.uk on 01280 709500 and ask the person that anwers the phone that you want a certificate of newness; they will will then give you there email address ; email them with the frame & engine No, make and model of bike; and your address. Its free and they usually post it within a couple of days As with my Honda, I contacted Honda UK, They charged about £28, They say you will get your letter in 3-4 weeks, mine took 6 days, 2) Get it on a daytime MOT You can get a Daytime MOT from any bike MOT station. Remove any lights unless they are fully working for a daytime MOT all you need is a reflector at the back of the bike for the day / road legal tyres and a horn ( get the £10 mega horn from Halfords) horn) that's it; clearly your bike need to be road worthy i.e. no oil leaks; good brakes etc etc just book it in and get your MOT! If you want a full MOT you will need tail light and brake might operated by both front and rear levers; front light with main beam and dip. 3) Insurance Get insurance on the frame number (Carol Nash will do this for two weeks; you then have to give them the plate No when registered; make sure you can get to the DVLA within 2 weeks of insuring it or they will cancel your policy. 4) The DVLA Go on the internet and download a V55/5 from the www.dvla.gov.uk there website or you can get one over the phone. When you get this fill it in with the obvious boxes but make sure you put it down as a 'enduro bike' you don't need to fill out all the emmssions info / power to weight etc etc, you don't need to fill out things to do with the MSVA test. Just fill out your details; bike info make, colour, cc's etc. go to your local DVLA without the bike first but with all your paperwork ( inc passport and utility bill) you pay them £96 which includes your tax for a year when you are there on your first visit you will need to book the bike in for a inspection go back on your inspection date; they measure seat height and ground clearance - thats all; and will tell you on the day of inspection its registration Number and give you a tax disc 5) Give the registration number to your insurance company And get a cool plate made up for your new bike 6) Your Log book wait about 1 week and your log book will come through; just check the frame and engine number are correct. 7) Wheelie like a nutter on your new road bike - Happy Days!!

As far as I'm aware Paul, its still OK, As long as where it says type approval you put enduro exempt. Also The bike has to be totally legal :D England I think is the only country you can have a daylight MOT, in europe you have to ride with lights on all day. |

Dont cha, mean too high, there should be 13.5 inches of ground clearance, but they never measure it in thew inspection, All they did was check engine and frame number the same as I had given them, and that the bicycle speedo read in mph not km/hour
