Hey team, so I purchased a 1997 zx6r f3 from a mate for 800 bucks, she is mint with a capital M! He just did chain, sprockets, brakes, oil, coolant and carbs. He got stung with a fine and then rego and wof fees on his vehicles and needed some $$ so he sold it to me. Heres the problem......it is rego dead. I got a carjam report and so I have the full history and will be getting statutory decleration soon. I was told by VTNZ that its as easy as getting a stat dec from cops, putting it in my name, brake check & wof from mechanic and then they will give me new plates and reg for around 400. Is it really this easy?? Any pitfalls I should look out for?? Anyone thats actually done this before and can help me out?? The bike is faaaaaar to nice to part out and I would like to put it on the road.

Any genuine advice would be really appreciated.
Cheers
