So I dug out the bike I learned to ride on. A 1983 Yamaha MR50 trail.
I need your help here, because the crowd at the AA will no doubt make life very difficult if I ask too many strange questions...
I have the original paper rego, but it was deregistered decades ago (spent most of its life on the farm). I also think it was pre-Vin Plates being riveted on. The original number plate is currently MIA, but I think its somewhere around here.
Now, the conundrum I have...
1. Should I try register it as a moped? It meets the requirents as laid out on NZTA from what I can see. But has no vin, only frame numbers.
2. Does it qualify for the cheap "classic" rego as a motorcycle yet? Is that 40 years? I found it hard to find a straight answer on the Web.
M/C rego option downside is having to do WOF's and the big $$ and hassle of getting it past Re-reg inspection.
Moped rego will not need initial inspection or Wof. Leaving me free to make sure turn signals work and an easy(cheap) commute scoot.
Is it feasible for me to try Re-reg as a moped, using prior reg paperwork as evidence to get issued with a new vin tag?
Or do I just try register a moped "anonymously" and pick up a new plate? Can I do it without a VIN and only a frame number?
Thoughts? Any advice or experience you can share would be greatly appreciated.
