    Does anyone have any idea of the procedure for getting a 50cc bike on the road, registered as a moped?

    I have a 1979 YB50 (*ahem*) that I think would make a hilarious runabout, and would also like to be able to legally ride it to large carparks to do stupid stuff on. Except it has no plates, history, road gear or VIN. It's just a bike.

    Since mopeds don't even need a WOF, and even little pocket bikes can have plates on them, could it be as easy as going and asking and paying for a plate?

    Give Ian at VTNZ Litchfield st a call. He was very help full when I did my old shitter.

    Do you have any old rego docs or plates with the bike? It will make it easier if it has already been on the road here and you have evidence.

    after reading the sr250 post i'm feeling a little more at ease with recomplying my gn..but question, if i have the plates and the last registration and wof tags, but no ownership papers, though do have police inspection form saying its not of any interest to them..is that all good? i got it from a mate who got it from his mum who bought it from an old neighbor to use as a farm bike.

    Thanks for this Frosty!
    We are moving back to Auckland from the Northern Territory and I am freighting my BMW R1150RT with Taurus Logistics. Good mob, they supply the crate, etc and do most of the documentation.
    I enquired here about de-registration and they said it wasn't necessary...!

    Frosty, I might call on you for advice/help.... , if you don't mind! We are going to be living in Henderson (Edmonton Road)

    Cheers Frosty, this is shit-hot info. I've been down the re-certification road, but am looking into the structural modification options for my next project, so very timely, thanks!

    had to re-cert a bike today, this thread was extreamly helpful, knowing what to expect at each stage made the day a whole lot more comfortable.

    bought a 1987 kawasaki GPZ 500

    Reg has lapsed due to being a bike from a deceased estate,
    I have;
    -a transfer of ownership from the son that inherited the bike,
    -a copy of an old wof sheet and the actual old wof and registration
    -the original plates
    I gather I don't need the brake cert due to bike age and the police no longer issue statements about vehicles no longer being of interest to them.. so could it be as simple as going to the VTNZ and asking/paying for new plates and then taking the bike in for a wof?
    anyone else had a bike in these circumstances revinned?

    If reg has just lapsed, I think you are right, could be just a 'change of ownership' form and wof/reg but if its become de-registered ie 'off the books' you will need to get the 'not interested' form from the police. I had to get one to get a de-reg bike on the road in March.

    rang VTNZ today

    they said that because the bike was last registered in 2006, I need to drop it into a specific VTNZ ( not all of them do revinning).. leave it for 3 days for them to get the revinning done.. at least this way I'll get wof/ revinning, new plates and registration done all in the one place, can drop off on trailer and ride it home .. ( fingers crossed!)

    BC VTNZ here in henderson will do it for you.If you want me too I'll look it over pre inspection for you. Theres a chance I might spot something you missed and save you taking it back to VTNZ for recheck

    Unhappy

    I'm trying to register from scratch a 1983 VT500c Honda shadow i have no plate, papers or anything I gave VTNZ the frame number and they said there was no record of it anywhere, so i can't register it. Is there anything else i can do to find out the history of the bike?

    carjam the vin(frame) number. if nothing comes up and you cannot prove it has been previously registered elsewhere, forget it.

    carjam the vin(frame) number, if nothing comes up and you have no other evidence at all or it being registered elsewhere, forget it.
