"PRE REG 2006" Meaning?
A 2006 model that has 0 miles, IS new, BUT has been registered to the dealer. Meaning if I bought it, it would be a new bike, with a lovely discount, but I'd be the second owner on the log book?

Your warranty starts from the date of registration so bear that in mind if it was a while ago.

and...
look for a better price as the reason the dealers do this is to get the "kick back" volume bonus from the manufacturer so there's more (usually) that they can knock off the price |

However my bike will need an MOT two and half years after I bought it as opposed to three. Not worried about buying pre-reg'd and would do it again for £2k off list price. I will probably px the bike but if I did sell it privately the log book shows that the previous keeper was a dealer so I doubt a potential buyer would care - I wouldn't. |

The dealer can reserve a number of registrations to go on bikes, this happened when I bought mine. I was given a list of numbers to choose from. Before that my bike was unregistered so I dont consider that to be pre-reg or for it to affect my warranty.
One thing that car manufacturers used to do (not sure if it applies to cars) was to register a load of cars before anyone bought them. If they registered a thousand of them it counted the same on the books as selling a thousand and therefore looked as if their sales werent slumping (mr rover). This meant that people would be buying 2005 cars with zero miles in 2006 but with a 55 reg for a discount. |
