Question How can I check a bike I'm considering buying is an official UK model?

Before anybody asks.....of course it's a Ducati

Are you serious? If so, nice one.

I just tried to run it through the RAC bikecheck (website) but it's asking for the Reg No. + V5 doc No. + chassis No. I only have the Registration plate No. at the moment. Mr C......can you do the same checks that the RAC (hpi ?) do using just the reg No.?

PS. I'm going to look at (buy?) it tomorrow!

Thanks Urban996.

Mr C......I will PM you the Reg No. I'll be leaving the house 09:30'ish tomorrow to view/buy the bike. It'd be great if you could help out, but if not, no worries.

No it dosn't !!!!!!,it will only say it on the log book,if,and only if its been registered then imported from overseas,if its a parrallel import,and registered here correctly,it won't say anything,it'll just be the same as one bought from a UK franchised dealer !!!,saying,new at first registration !!

Same with ,HPI,it shares its information from DVLA,so it should mirror your v5.

The only two ways to tell,are,the pdi stamp in the front of the service book,showing the supplying dealer stamp,or,as stated above,ring Ducati and give them the chassis no,and ask them to check,and at the end of the day they're made in italy,so they're all imports anyway !!!
