Getting Reg number using just vin / frame no (plate lost)

[Deleted]

Ive just bought an old C90ZZ moped,   Weirdly offered it while out looking at golf parts.

Problem is, The previous -previous owner decided to keep the numberplate as a momento.  It was his dads old bike ..

I have keys but no plate and logbook lost years ago.

I don't know who the owner with the plate was, The recent owner doesnt have contact details anymore.

Its totally complete but suffered big end failure, and now only has 9000miles on it

I'm trying to figure out how i can get a v5 ... I don't feel it should be re-registered as that wont be the true history of the bike (owners etc) But it doesnt have a 17 digit VIN number, It just as the pre-1980 frame / chassis number  (starting in c90-etc)

Ive googled it and people are saying use a hpi check based on the frame no, Will this work?

Any ideas / help greatly appriciated

Few options...ring honda get them to run the vin It should have the reg number on there system. ..
second option hpi check it that will/should give u the reg.

I had a yamaha trz a few years ago no plate or logbook. Phoned a yamaha brach gave them the vin and there was a reg number.so went into my local yam dealer gave them the vin.then bought something in the shop and the guy behind the desk wrote the reg on the receipt ..

If you know somone in a spares shop get them to try the vin in the parts system, some will do it some won't, you used to be able to get a reg on the web from parts search systems but people complained and now you need to be a member
