Getting a deregistered bike back on the road?

[NordieBoy]

XR250`s are legal for road in fact I took mine for ride to urenui last weekend

Registered XR's are legal for the road.
Non-registered XR's arn't.
Non-registered XR's can be registered.
And if you're lucky you may not even need blinkers

Bringing up old threads here, but did you get the bike reg'd?

I have currently a '91 ZXR250C which has been dereg by insurance write-off.

The trail of dereg paperwork I have starts at AMI with a dereg cert with "UNECONOMICAL TO REPAIR. INSURANCE WRITE OFF." stamped all over it... According to Suney it was quoted for a new set of fairings, mirrors, indicators, paint, decals, and apparently forks (dunno why)... The frame appears to be in A1 condition as far as I can tell, the only thing I can think of which may fail are the brake pads and possibly the rear disc as it is bang on marginal.

I have heard a million stories, but has anyone had similar experiences I can PM?

shouldnt be a problem to get the zxr back on the road people fix insurance write offs all the time an get them on the road .as for the xr id look into it a bit further because what about custom hand built bikes never been brought into the country and havnt been tested as the flufmo 100 they find there way onto the road some how?

Heres the deal -You need dereg paperwork. You need to get a brake compliance cert from a bike shop or a ltsa low volume certifier.
You will need to get the questioned "damaged" structural components-forks examined and passed
To be honest matey save yaself a shit load of effort--call ALEX-- 4168932 and get him to sort all the shit out for ya -He'll do the brake cert and also tell ya about anything that will fail on compliance
His check will cost about $75 and compliance will cost $150
that gives ya a WOF and the form you need to register the bike--MR2A
you then waunder over and pay another $185 for plates and 6 months rego.
-OR do what I did and ride em for awhile on a dealer plate -

It will cost you a little bit but anything can be done. I work at a motorcycle wreckers and we sell whole bikes which are write offs and put them back on the road as street fighters.

Hey im in the same position as a few of you here. Im bidding on a 86 gsxr1100 that has been written off due to being uneconomical to fix. I have had a really good look at this bike and the only damage i can see is the cracks in the plastics and a scuffed up foot peg. First question is would this be considered enough to write of the bike? I.e. the owner insists on new fairings (that would take months to get here from japan). Also the bike still has a current warrant and rego so why cant I just take it in for another warrant when this one runs out with a new foot peg and paint job?? Any help would be appreciated as I really want this bike, and not just a waste of money.

You can! You dont even need a paint job.... or fairings for that case...

Thats what all my previous bikes have been, but mine now is completely de-reg... e.g. no plates, vin means nothing, etc.

Frosty,

If the bike has previously been registered in NZ and still has the VIN plate, do you still need the brake certificate?

If it just has the stickers I would check at a local testing station to see what's on the computer about it.

Yes this is of much interest to me... No one else I know of (but they have all taken through dormant regos) needed one...

[bungbung]

I can't see that you would. (need brake cert)

If the brake parts are the same as they were prior to the accident, and they pass the inspection then you should be good.

I can understand the case for strange imported bikes though.

However, the requirement for a brake certificate may be a thing that applies in this case.

I bought a de-reg'd zxr. It had no plates, wof or reg information, but it did have a VIN plate. Armed with a sale sheet from a bike shop (bought as a trade-in special) I went to VTNZ. They inspected the bike for $100, and I registered it for $180 (incl 6 month rego). That was that.

[FROSTY:Me]

The brake cert thing is recent and as i understand it it applies to deregistered bikes as well as fresh imports.
There is a big difference between a bike dereged cos the owner couldn't be bothered and a written off bike that has been repaired--all the damage info listed by the insurance company will be on the LTSA file
Alex will clear it up real fast though

man i hope this is the case i have to get this bad boy now! (my day has suddenly started to look up!)

How come your bike is dereg'd now is it due to complications or your own free will?

I bought it as a dereg write off. I am just waiting for the front fairing back from Rodders (he is doing the welding), and then shes ready to go... Hence the pre-research into brake certs, etc.
So far it only owes me $1710 so it should be a deal.... regaurding nothing is too wrong with it! And it should be Lime green when I get back from Fiji.
