DLisi Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Hope this is in the right place, my first post. A few months ago my dad bought me a MBK Doodo 125 from ebay. MBK bikes are the same as Yamaha, only differently branded/named. They are manufactured by the same company, and the MBK Doodo 125 is basically a Yamaha Teos 125. The bike did not come with any sort of registration details, so at the moment I am facing paying the £55 fee to Yamaha in order for them to give me my registration. I have the Engine Number and Frame Number, and was wondering if there is any way of finding out my registration while avoid the steep fee. Any help is appreciated.

DLisi Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 Ah, no. What I'm saying is the bike was previously registered in 2001, and sometime between then and when my dad purchased it, the registration details have gone missing. That's why I need a method of finding out the registration details without having to shell out a large amount of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator mervin Posted October 10, 2010 Moderator Share Posted October 10, 2010 loud alarm bells are ringing in my head here, no reg details are you sure this bike is legit, not stolen, or anything, is it a grey import that never had a plate in this country?? anyhow If you have a friend in the motor trade that can look up the engine/frame for you on the HPI system you may get it that way, if not you will need to cough up the £55 too yamaha then the £25 too dvla for the log book , or go down the (even more expensive) road of getting a dating certificate and an age related plate certificate, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLisi Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Thanks for the help & welcomes everyone. Looks like I'll have to be paying the fee. Pretty sure the bike isn't stolen. Was in a pretty down condition when it was picked up - had been left standing for months/years. I have all sales paperwork, etc, so in the event that it was nicked, all should be fine... and someone will have a nice, restored Scooter to ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator mervin Posted October 12, 2010 Moderator Share Posted October 12, 2010 Do you have the original sales doc? if so can you not contact the original dealer and find the reg from them merv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedshop Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Unless you can find a number plate, tax disc or old photo showing the reg number you've had it. If Yamaha can supply the registeration number this will save you going through the registration process with DVLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
