Smokin Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I have an original condition october 1972 RD350A, it was imported from the USA by the previous owner and on the V55 it is detailed that it was first registered January 1973. Is it correct that I will have to re-register the bike and declare the bikes true manufacture date with a letter of support from the club. Is this something the club can help me with. Any help will be appreciated ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RD is now registered in my name, the V5 states it as was manufactured 1973 (this is incorect) I plan keeping the bike for the foreseeble future and it would be good to have its actual date of manufacture registered. It should qualify as a tax exempt historical motorcycle. The bike has matching engine and frame numbers and the original head stock sticker clearly states date of manufacture Oct 72. I have been told I will have to re-register the bike, I have never done this before so I was looking for advise of the best route to take. Thanks very much for you help and perhaps now you have more info you may be able to point me in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
