hugh_b Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hi everyone, I'm looking at getting my new evo insured for theft. It's road registered as the dealer offered to sort all that out for me and i figured it may be best in the long run. At the moment I only want insurance for theft etc. My plan was to SORN it as soon as the paperwork comes through. I spoke to Carol Nash today who said I need an MOT to insure it as it's road registered. Not sure if this is the case however if i sorn it? Can anyone confirm as i don't want to pay out for an MOT if not necessary! Thanks Hugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugh_b Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I did try MSM but they also said i needed an MOT, maybe they miss-heard me when I said it was new? I'll give them a call again tomorrow. Hugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormy normy Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Interestd to know how you can register a new bike with out taxing it and to tax it you must have insurance. Am I the only one who is confused ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordi Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 If its a new bike why does it need a MOT? MOT only required for vehicles 3 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only one who is confused ? [/quote Well, the dealer in questions has registered it for me. As far as i'm aware, I have paid for tax. They register the bike in their name and then transfer it across to myself or something along those lines. It all went over the top of my head a little whilst in the shop as I was trying to sort so much out. Hugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bony_toe Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 It's the other way around stormy normy. You can't tax a vehicle without showing your insurance documents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
