Interesting about the CB250, as DVLA website is still showing last year's info for historic taxation class, in as much as vehicle had to be built before Jan 1977 to count as historic. Does this mean all of 1977 builds are now historic?

Bit of a random question, but I've seen a Grey Import Honda Cub derivative CD50, that I fancy as town runabout. It's a 4 speed manual but with proper motorbike looks.
It's an I import from Japan and on the Nova system, Speedo is in kph showing 41, 000, the motor runs well. Bike generally clean for the year.
What are the pitfalls with registering and insuring such a bike, can I insure of a VIN?
Lots of spares for the bike at CMSL, everthing still available for the engine as its the evergreen 50cc thing.
TIA
Dave.

One of the issues I had when recommissioning the bike, was the ignition cut out a couple of times on the initial test rides. I have dismantled the ignition switch, and noticed that the white plastic part with the electrical contacts bit at the bottom of the barrel part, has been subject to heat, presumably from internal corrosion. The result is the plastic part is melted!
Does anyone know if it's possible to just get the plastic part, or do I need a whole ignition switch, also is the DSS part interchangeable, in as much as I was thinking of buying one just to get the white part, thereby allowing me to keep the original barrel part and keys.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks Dave

I keep the battery off the bike in winter, I charge it for a few hours with the optimate when the voltage drops to 12.4 volts, this is about once every few weeks.

The sprocket was on the bike when I bought it, the bike had been restored in 1998, and not run since, bodywork was fine, however fuel, and front brake systems needed a lot of work, but she's running well now. Regrettably I had to go for DSS ignition switch as the key was jammed in the original 😣. I don't know if there's a way to refurb the switch?

Err nope, I take it the one on the frame is a breather route? Is the one on the swing arm regarding the pillion footrests, if so my later model won't need it.
