Guys, if a bike is cat d or c, are there any docs to say that that is the case or is it up to the seller declaring it to you?

It will show up on the insurance register and should show up on a HPI check. Having said that SOMETIMES this can be overcome by having an engineers report done after a rebuild by using a different frame or engine transplant. In effect you are building a new vehicle although retaining one of the donor reg.no's

Are you selling or buying?

HPI check is the only way. I bought a cat D a few years back and the seller told me it was a cat D. When I went to sell it it was a cat C according to HPI and the buyer thought I was trying to pull a fast one.

my old kwak zzr was a cat c and the seller never informed me

by law the seller if private doesnt have to tell you but a dealer or shop has to. my kwak never showed up having any problems with insurance, and when i sold the bike on i did inform the buyer about its new found history.
the situation i'm in at the moment is my old sv has been given a cat c but i'm led to belive this only comes into effect if an insurance company pay me out as a total loss

if i dont get a payout and i have to repair the sv the accident will show up on HPI but i'm led to belive it wont show as a write off? can anyone put me right?
