Title: Whats the point of having a title
Post by: Davelu88 on August 21, 2023, 10:58:54 AM: I have 2 CB 450s that I am registering, one didn't have a title so I got a dating certificate whereas the other had the title etc .I sent of 2 lots of applications and last week had an inspection for the non titled bike which I expected & today I get another email saying the one with the title needs an inspection as well. What is the point of having a title if the DVLA ignore what its for . Rant over

Inspection seems to be a lottery, not sure if you should go buy a ticket ot not!

If it looks like a cobbled together heap with few original parts they will refuse certification….at least that’s what the bloke stated when he came to view mine.

As i am not a yank and do not deal in bikes from the USA. What is the difference between a title and a pink slip in the states ?
