My recent 749r has a S999*** private reg plate from the previous owner which I find a bit strange and feel like its pretending to be something it isn't. I have no idea about how to change the registration, can it be done cheaply or does it cost a few hundred quid in total at the lowest end which would be better spent on parts?
Thanks for info about cherished transfers, minimum price on DVLA website is £250 which could be better spent on parts. Does anyone know if it is possible to switch back from the private plate S999*** it is currently registered on to the original plate it was 1st registered on - or will this be just as expensive an option for me.
Sometimes the v5 will show the number as "not transferable" to put this number on a retention certificate would cost 105 pounds or 85 pounds to transfer it
The change is easy and pain free and will cost circa £105 to be put onto a Retention certificate. So what your saying he sold you the bike signed the V5 and then sold the plate ? Cheeky bugger
The seller was good as gold, I think I have misunderstood the process, back in 04 it was on a normal plate, it was then changed to the S999*** plate on it currently which I purchased on the bike. I am waiting for the V5 to come back from the DVLA so I can check details out properly. I believe the original 04 plate was sold by the 1st owner (I brought the bike from the 2nd owner) I have no reason to doubt the seller, he was a good genuine guy and I am completely happy with bike & how seller went through sale process.
