damage repairables!!

hi guys, been offered the chance to buy a cat d damage repairable from a mate. he,s not got the v5 so whats the process for returning to the road. do,s the bike need an inspection once i,ve repaired it and can i just apply for the v5 from dvla. always like a winter project so i,m tempted.
thanks in advance.

 

If its anything like cars then only cat c needs a vic check, cat d needs just an mot and the v5 which you can apply for.

 

Castrol Craig has put a post up about this .
It is about race bikes, but the info is good.

 

Hi mate we have a lot of salvage bikes cat c or d DO Not need a vic check just send log book with £29 to DVLA the log book comes back in your name Apply for a vehicle registration certificate V5C (log book) - V62 : Directgov - Do it online

 

ok thanks guys. if i get it for the right money i,ll go for it.

 

What year, how much? Maybe we can give an idea on its worth?

 

I had a Tuono a few years back that was cat D and like they say it only required a mot to be road legal again, even though the bike was only 2 years old it still needs the mot for insurance to say its in fit for the road state. There are some real bargains to be had out there and when it came to selling it i had no problems. Go for it if the price is right..
