Gday Joel, Sounds like your local VTNZ arnt being very helpfull, I gather your bike has not got a VIN Number, If it has then all it needs is to be upgraded to meet WOF requirements and then it can be Registed for the road.
In the last 2 years Ive managed to get a 1979 XR185 and a 1981 KL250 on the road and neither had any record in the "System". The requirements were, proof of sale in NZ from new, police check that they wearnt stolen, Brake shoes and drums measured by a bike dealer to make sure they wearnt over manufactureres wear limits, Meet all current WOF requirements and VTNZ were then happy to give them a VIN number, WOF and then I was able to register them. ( Some old bikes are exemt indicators etc and VTNZ have a list of these) .
Ide be inclined to visit a VTNZ stn in person and sort it out with someone.
Ive just done quick google, there are streel legal kits available for your bike.
Good luck with it.
