I recently got a dating certificate for my CB250K2 via Honda UK's dating service. Its no find...No fee... which is great.
It costs £25+VAT = £30, if they do find a record of it.
Initially though, they couldn't find it on their UK records or indeed acknowledge that it was a UK supplied bike and apologised via email but they then applied to Japan (which took several months) and Japan found it and issued a certificate. I literally had a frame and crankcases and no documents or registration mark, even though I definitely knew it was a UK supplied machine.
I always thought that they would only offer the service to UK supplied bikes but have they changed their system recently? i.e. if you sent them a frame and engine number from an import that they obviously won't be able to find on their UK records, will they contact Japan and if Japan has records, issue a certificate? If you look at the attached though it says CB250K2E .. maybe the 'E' denotes supplied to England
