    I've not approached my insurer yet about changing the bike over, I've been looking at fresh quotes on mcn compare, looking at around 500 quid. I'm slap bang in the middle of an insurance year. Currently I have 2.5 years no claims, the only way I can get up to 3 years is if I stay with current insurer until June right?

    Or I take out a fresh policy but then I can only declare 2 years no claims right. Not sure what do at the moment. Companies normally sting you for changing your bike half way through!:rolleyes:

    Yep. There always seems to be confusion over this. A bike or vehicle is dated by its year of manufacture as recorded on the VIN. Certainly our V5s note 'Date of First Registration' but that is merely a reference for registration and not year of manufacture.

    Take this VTR SP1 at Hunts Motorcycles for instance: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-Ne...=item3b1ae61c42:g:svUAAOSwmfhX4BwV:rk:41:pf:0
    It is a year 2000 model but never been registered. If it were to be registered tomorrow, it will still be a 2000 model but first registered in 2019.
