he said because he's only had it for 2 weeks is selling it due to not realising how complicated and costly it is to pass your test now and having to get it restricted to meet regs etc and so forth

so he's waiting for the proper V5 to come back? In that case if you want the bike arrange to buy buy it but only once him has the V5 in his name, it's normally pretty quick to be issued nowadays, in both cases when I have bought a vehicle in the last 12 months (1 car 1 bike) Ihave had the V5 inside 2 weeks. This assumes the seller sent the paperwork off imediately after the sale.
Does he have a receipt for the bike with the previous sellers address etc, if so you could contact the previous owner to check details etc.
Just seen this http://www.morebikes.co.uk/new-ktm-finance-options-on-freeride-range/ £99 down and 0% finance - just a thought
I'm not sure are you saying I would have no legal comback id be planning to see idea and get a reciept from him etc he may have other paperwork in not sure , ha the last few bikes ive had the log book arrived in closer to 6
come on guys I desperately need more input on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why? You have been given the answer, you just don't like the answer.

it wasn't exactly an answer I was hoping some one would know the legality of it I would be planning to get a copy of his driving licence , and written and signed receipt and hes also got a recept hpi check for it , all the keys etc , ive sold a bike without the v5 before and just forwarded it on but ive never bought like this
just spoken to the dvla , and they explained the process and said aslong as it has the new keepers supplement it should be fine , but to make sure I id him and get a receipt,,, I would then have to go to the post office
im going to speak to the guys mum when I pick it up as they wouldn't normally lie for there son to such a degree
I'd have a word with the CAB and maybe watchdog too to double check, what does your MP say? Have you spoken to the local press?

No, you're right - mothers have never lied about things like murder etc to keep their sons from getting into trouble...

Sensible answer - don't touch it with a barge pole until he has the V5. Also does he have service books etc?
Second question - has the barrel got a screwdriver sticking out of it. If so, walk away.
Thirdly - you KNOW the risk you're taking if you do. It's your choice and yours alone to accept that, but it's a silly risk to take really.
HPI check?
Ive got it now hpi is clear , ktm database is clear , I think it may have a new ignition though as both keys apear to be brand new..
So it hasn't got an MOT, it hasn't been run for ages, it needs a new tyre, it has a new ignition barrel, the mileage is different from what you were told, the lad bought it without thinking he needs a licence, its cheaper than all others of a similar age.
Seems legit.

vin comes back clear there's no markers at all on it , all possible checks have been done only actual discrepancy is it comes back as red...... but I don't pay much attention to that as my repsol cbr was listed as yellow.....
:laughing4:
Quote from: Carbon_ZX6R on March 27, 2015, 12:49:01 PM...all possible checks have been done
Not roadworthy, even if it runs - "check!"
Possibility that it won't run - "check!"
Serious indications of suspect history - "check!"
Wrong colour - "check!"
VIN and engine numbers applied in matching crayon...? :rolleyes:

Whatever you do, don't you dare post a thread in (insert timeframe here) asking what to do as the po po are at your door asking about you handling stolen goods and why you bought a bike without a V5.

chances are it will be legit but there's possibly some hidden mechanical problem...

Run, run away as fast as you can.

oh yeah most is minor and free to fix but what I wasn't counting on was the headrace bearings being shot , so im having to do them as im not paying a garage £250 for the privilege bar the tyre ,which I knew about the rest is basically tighten things up and replace missing bolt , fit reflector and legal plate etc
