Spotted a bike for sale locally that looked good in the pics & description raised no problems. Seller stated it had been bought as a track bike but had never been used as such.

Was really well priced so I enquired why it wasn't for road use, seller replied saying it was a US import & had never been registered etc.

Surely couldn't be hard to get it registered & through an mot?

Anyone got experience in this area?

I know you have to be careful of import duty, ask the seller if his has the import duty papers or you may be charged upon registration!

My mate registered his cb400s via dating certificate, had to get mot, then insurance on frame number (only a week mind) and take it to the dvla for inspection!
