Looks like a good buy low kms.Do you have to get it certified before a vin & wof.

i dont think so.....but really not too concerned....i dont think i can lose on this deal...

Careful. Before you pick it up, make sure you can re-register it - certain documents are required. If the owner just stopped paying the rego, it will run out, after a year, and plates will 'die'. To re-register it, you need to jump through a few hoops. I had to re-vin my CBR400RR when I got it. Here's what I had to do:

Here's what's needed for that

Signed letter saying seller has sold it to me.

Document must have seller's and buyer's name, Rego plate on it, and both of you have to sign and date it.

Bet I could carry a roast on my bike as I'll be bringing only a sleeping bag, and guitar and 12 pack

Glad to hear you have a bike finally.. no more showing up to things with a car :P

Well, what i thought would be relatively easy seems to be a bit harder now....seems the guy brought the bike from someone else about 3 years ago, and never changed ownership. He says he has the other owners contact details but will have to dig them out. I have got the plate number and the VIN number and will be calling up LTSA for advice and to also try to find the previous owner.
If I cant get that sorted out the deal will fall through. The guy seems pretty good about that and says if we need to we will just cancel the sale...So wish me luck guys...i was excited...... but now feel a bit let down

[breakaway]

Yeah, be real careful mate. Heaps of people fall into this trap of not checking these details before buying a unregistered bike.

heeeeem shit. i just purchased a dead rego bike.... bugger...... hope it turns out ok....

[xwhatsit]

Schweet! Still think you should've got the CB450/550 , but that looks like a fun bike to abuse, and you won't have to worry so much about crashing/repairs.

They've got a reasonable amount of poke for a 250cc twin from the 80s, but they are a bit more heavier than they need to be.

Have fun! Hope you manage to keep upright!

yeah man if your deal goes through and you get everything sorted, you've got yourself a pretty good bike. i upgraded from an fxr150, still love using the torque that's available in the majority of the rev range, instead of just at 10k like on the fixxer! Isn't the best looker, but is good on gas and is a hoot in the tight stuff.
Congrats dude

Take it back and ask for the details. If the guy who you bought it from doesn't have it, then you're in doledrums. I'm sure you could still register it, but from the other threads I've read, it'd be a right pain in the ass.
