first you need the plate numbers to then file for a v5 from dvla as 99.9% of dts out there have been road raged there might be a few unregisterd ones floating about.
not sure exactly how you get a plate from the vin mabey call up yamaha im not sure once you have the plate i would then do hpi check and most "field bike" its stolen then riden offroad and sold on
once you have the plate and its all clear you file for a v5 from dvla and i think theres a £25 fee for that
yeah its time consuming and casts to get hold of any details from frame numbers alone there are guys out there that have some sort of trade hpi checker that can get the reg and hpi from frame numbers but always at a coast around £25-30 ..
scrim is a great guy and may help you out if needed and would say if some one did trade hpi check it and got you the numbers they have done you a massive favor so very much the done thing to (buy them a drink) or slip them £20 .
Nice one guy's. i'm a windscreen fitter by trade i'll ask one of my customers if they can HPI from the frame number b4 i go pestering scrim.
as ive put the word about that i'm after a project bike and i've been offered a few already this week . so was thinking maybe flip one a month or something to pay for the best of the best for my one . kindA a bike for me for free I LIKE FREE SO MUCH LOL

thats my kinda style buy some thing cheap take what you need of it or give it a service and wash then sell back on for bit of profit ..
in the past I have bought full bikes swapped over bits I needed like tyres wheels ect then sold them back on got my bits for free and made a little prifit along the way .
MDK thats the plan mate. make a bit of profit spend it on my one.

yeah if working from a budget can be the best way some will look around for new wheels breaks or forks when in fact it can work out cheaper to spo a cheap bike with those bits on buy it swap over or steal the bits you need then sell it back on at no loss I have done many many bikes this way so in the end they stand me at nothing cost wise .
