I was impressed with the service and also DVLA were no problem to deal with 😁

This bike, cb650, has been in my family since I was at least 4 years old and now finally I have gone from the small child pillion passenger to being the 40 year old rider who passed his test two weeks ago. Having emigrated with the bike from the Netherlands in 1993 the dvla have the bike registered in 2007 as a 1981 model although the chassis is RC03e2005360 which at a google guess shows it as being 1979. Is 1979 correct and was the import registration flawed or is it in fact a 1981 bike? The DVLA and I would both like the V5 to be accurate and the plate to be from the year of manufacture hence the question

That Chassis number you are showing RC03e2005360 is an engine number

Yes that's right! Thanks I got my numbers mixed up. Attached is the chassis number. Following your advice I have now sent off the Y.O.M request to Honda in the hope that they can help sort it once and for all.

Good luck and hope you have a good result like I did😁

My request went in two days ago, first email back yesterday asking for VIN & Engine number pics, second email back today saying 'yes' they had the info and that they would send me a letter subject to payment of £36. I have now paid this and expect a letter in the post very soon. This will settle the age of my bike and allow a quick cross reference against the info the DVLA hold and corrections to be made if required.
So far I can honestly say this is the simplest and most efficient service I have EVER experienced from any company. Will post an update once I receive it through the post.
