How to contact Honda U.K.

Oh no

Wannes, are you trying to register it and get a UK V5 document for it?

If it is the V5 document you need you will need to contact the DVLA, I have read about this sort of thing before (the only difference being the bike/car is still in the UK).

No I don't need to register the bike in the U.K.
The DVLA is only for cars and bikes which are used by U.K. residents (or U.K. people living abroad)

What I'm looking for, are the original owner papers that came with the bike (together with an identification plate)
I had the Import paper, which counts as a replacement for the original papers.

But, they kept in in Belgium when I sent all the papers to the DVLA (it's called DIV here).
It's not a big issue, but if they ever make the paper obligated in Belgium, I will have some problems.

Hi Waynus. When you buy a new vehicle in the uk you only get a registration document, which is called a v5. Any bike or car i have bought has only ever come with a registration document. When the bike or car becomes 3years old it has to have an MOT to test its road worthy ness. This is then carried out yearly if the vehicle is to be used on the road. I think the document that you are talking about is the one the dealer sends of when the bike is first registered to the first owner to obtainthe regitratio document. I will speak to a friend of mine tonite who is a motorcycle dealer and see what he can suggest for you.

Simon, thanks for your reply!
Yeah, I think as well I'm referring to the dealers document.

I suppose it's been held back when the bike was imported and registrated in Belgium the first time (not done by me).
But I'd like to get it back if the regulation/laws should change here sometime. (and it's coming)
The only one I have now is the approval of the Belgian import service. (DVLA it's called in U.K.)
Thanks!

My Friend said that once he sends off the document to register the bike for the first time that document then stays with the DVLA. They then send on a registration document (used to be known as a log book, now called a V5) to the new owner of the vehicle. The document he sends off also confirms to the DVLA that the Bike conforms to British road safty standards and is type approved. (If you are registering a one off bike it has to go for a single vehicle assessment to prove that it conforms to British road safety standards which is sent off then to the DVLA when registering the one off bike.)

I cant see how you would be able to get a copy of the dealers document from the DVLA as most of the files they have are now on computer so i would say that they have no longer got the original document. They cant even get peoples driving licence details correct in the DVLA. So good luck with your quest. If i can help with anymore just ask.

The DVLA nor Honda U.K. don't know either...
