i know there are mixed views about these on bikes and I personally am not sure I would want the attention But I'm surprised this is still available and just £399
They come up on eBay now and then , lot less than that Other day a bloke was selling R10 CBR for £200
I have got one on mine, if I am honest I wish I never bought it for the following reasons:- expensive, pain in the arse when you come to sell/change your bike £80 a time to transfer/retain, you are stuck with it, you can lose it after 12 months on retention if you don't transfer it onto another vehicle. Now I have one they are a very bad idea and another way to generate revenue to a government department. Oh and another one £30 in admin charge to your insurance company to tell them you have changed your reg no.
Not any more. Put Wife's private plate on retention for £80 and it lasts 10 years now. Also it can all be done online with the issue of a new number for the vehicle in question, takes about 15 mins top all in. From today (9 March 2015), the law has changed to reduce the fee to retain a personalised registration from £105 to £80. This will apply to both paper and online transactions. This change sees the removal of the £25 fee currently in place to renew the retention of a vehicle registration number on an annual basis. The renewal period is also extended to 10 years. There is another added benefit, the fee is being removed to add or change nominee details. Customers will see a significant reduction in turnaround times following the introduction of this service. DVLA systems will be updated in real time and the service will provide instant confirmation that the application has been successful.
I think its free to renew retention but to take it from a vehicle and put it on retention then its £80 they extended the amount of time it remains on retention i only found out when my dad done his, he was about to do it through the post then logged on and it was free? Who knows haha
