mot

[barker]

was sitting at the mot station Saturday when this 850 shaft drive custom bike came in with a number plate MOT, of course this intrigued me so I had a word with the owner he told me it was a 79import from the states,and its not on the dvla books yet so has no number plate, he had it insured on the frame number, but needs a mot to get the dvla to give it a reg number,
can he legally ride the bike to the mot with no number plate

[Richard_J]

Yes.

that's what I like Richard a simple answer

Its the same as if it wasn't taxed, as long as its insured and on route to a pre booked mot at a station within a reasonable distance it's perfectly legal.
I have an unregistered import NSR250 that when finally rebuilt I will have to do the same.
