FEMA Survey on Historic Motorcycles

<< < (2/4) > >>

Sesman:
Done👍

Oddjob:
Be careful what you wish for. The questions about substantially altered from the original condition could mean anyone who's done a cafe racer for example could find they are no longer classified as historic. How far from the OE condition does it have to be? needs an original exhaust for example, giving them info like this could come back to bite you.

Ken, have you a copy of dvla exemption categories that covers, in section r, what is defined/changeable under UK current historic vehicle statement? 
It's useful to look through as there's nothing about styling,  cafè or any other, defined. More the original main components along with ability to substitute new design for no longer available items.
Definitely needs to be read from a view of dispassionate disconnected stance to see what it allows in simple facts rather than our own knowledgeable position in defining our own bikes.

As example in the way I read it you could use 500/550/650 honda engines in your bike of choice (Honda 500 four) and all still qualifying for historic status. This the same as for example some Land Rover models that could have originally a 4/6/8 cylinder engine of diesel or petrol in the same vehicle.
