Motorcycle Cat D write off's?

Morning All,

So I’ve bought my friends bike back off insurance, which is now classed as a cat D. Inspected it and the only thing needed to get it road worthy condition again is replacing the stator casing as it is cracked. The rest is cosmetic…

I wanted to know what the actual procedure was to get it back on the road?

Last paragraph of this article state you just have to reapply for the V5 http://www.motorcyclemonthly.co.uk/news/what-s-the-damage
Same stated on the gov.uk website as well, see last section “Keeping the vehicle” https://www.gov.uk/scrapped-and-written-off-vehicles/insurance-writeoffs

It is up to you to make sure that the bike is safe and roadworthy before putting it back on the road.

I would personally double check the whole bike I purchased a cat D from a well known salvage company and when received frame was bent and top yoke bust so was actually a Cat B
Also you need to make it road worthy and MOT it sometimes it may require a VIC check but that’s not often at all…
Contact vosa and check on the VIC is more for newer bikes older ones not so much

no more VIC check by the way.

Right so, I've signed the logbook in my name and sent to DVLA,All I need to do is make it road worthy and MOT it? I bet the salvage company your on about is mce_big_ed or surreymc?...
