Woodside:
if you have the original usa title slip you dont need a date cert..as that has the date of first reg on it and dvla will use this..

Nah i don't have that

Rob62:
You will need a dating letter, VJMC are very quick and inexpensive for this service. But you will also need a letter from the original manufacturer stating why they cannot date the machine, so honda uk will provide a letter stating that they cannot date it as it is not on their database (being a usa bike) if you contact them. You will then need to send both off to the dvla along with an mot and payment for registration and i still believe you will initially have to pay for tax but not sure on this point... A friend of mine has just registered his gt500 as a classic machine i.e. no longer subject to tax. He had to fill in a form and show it at the post office, they dont take a copy you just show it! Then he had to pay tax and claim a refund once it is registerd. I believe the tax payable works out at something like 6 quid after you get the refund.... it seems like a complete typical government farce from what i can gather.....

Did this last year on an import from DK. Did not need letter from Honda UK.
VJMC letter, insurance on VIN number, MOT (Prebooked, I rode it, but stuck the US plate on for a bit of identification, possibly not legal?), form V55/5 (which you cannot download and you have to get DVLA to send you a blank). VJMC will tell you which bits you need to fill in. Also send pics to DVLA. (clear frame/engine nos will help a lot.) Page 1:#2 allows you to register direct as Historic for zero tax.
In the process of doing another at this moment, waiting for DVLA form.

Perfecto. Have ordered the forms from DVLA  just need to wait to get the frame back from the powdercoaters so i can give the No. to VJMC and start the process off.

How long did it take for the DVLA side of the process in your experience?
