Another 19 years and it will be tax and MoT exempt!

It's nice to hear bikes with such high mileage. Most tend to be scrapped or binned before any use able life is had out of them.

My curvey 400 has 39'000 km on it. But it won't be getting much more from me really.
Couple track days and some pootling round on weekends and that's about it.

Quite amazed at how well these svs clock up mileages though.

Maybe a high mileage sv thread?

Unfortunately it doesn't work like that.It's an Anniversary date not how old a vehicle is.There have been campaigns to get it changed over the years but nothing has altered

It will soon however qualify for Carol Nash's,"Classic" insurance which can work out cheaper for me if and when I decide to put an old Honda CX500 I have in my garage back on the road

... actually some good news, the rules for historic vehicles have changed and now vehicles qualify in the April following their 40th birthday on the road. I did the research for this when the Bloop turned 40, I’ll find the relevant articles and post them for you (maybe for the CX?).

... and here is the good news, straight from the horse’s (government’s) mouth:

It is a very simple process now: wait until the April after a bike is 40 years old, take the V5 to a post office, get a new V5 back, don’t bother to MoT it any more, tax it free online every year... it is as simple as that (I do it with the Bloop).

Excellent! Depending on when in the year it was registered it will be tax and MoT exempt in April 2020 or 21.

See, this forum does have its uses!
