I just checked the past 3 MOT certificates and they all call the bike a Suzuki AN 400. The V5 Also calls the Bike Suzuki AN 400. The 3 last letter saying thank you for for declareing as sorn also state Suzuki AN 400.

Everythink states the bike Suzuki AN 400 but also states 996cc in the same letter???

12 Months tax was £64 for 12 months in 2007 ? That seems a little low

Anybody got any ideas?

Ouch, sounds like a mess up that. As said by others, hopefully just a paperwork **** up somewhere. Get on to the DVLA asap and check the engine/frame numbers match up.

sounds to me like you have a highly modded AN400 (lol) with a 1000cc v twin, shure does look like a sv thogh

Spose theres one good thing, if its all above board, yer insurance will be peanuts???

This doesn't look like it will end well. Even if the v5 is wrong all the past history is too decreasing itsvalue somewhat, although it was abargain anyway.

Just fingers crossed it's not cloned or dodgy, as you could end up without a bike.

You got the best coloured Thou' there, but, make sure the contact the DVLA about the V5 as until that is right your insurance in invalid

Anyway, who said something about down-pipes being shiny/black!? Mine are a nice ferrous oxide brown and have been since I bought her (and for a few years I would think.) The down-pipes and full exhaust system are part of my winter project.

Anyway, good luck with the V5 Ian and enjoy the Thou'

Offtopic a bit but if the downpipes are really bad take wet n dry paper to them n keep goin finer grade untill theyr shiney thentake some autosol metal polish to them for ultimate chrome finish!!!

Can I suggest a quick call to Suzuki too. As they can run the VIN number on their systems and see what it comes up with.......or at least they should be able to.

so does fine wire wool and WD40 then heat the bike up and let it smoke, seems to keep the crud off it and stops it from re rusting
