BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

If you read further in the link I posted, you’ll see there’s a different section for ‘your vehicle’, which doesn’t have the same reasonable cause requirements.

I think the new V5 only shows number of keepers David. I don’t think it even shows the previous keeper details any more.

Looks like they’ve scrapped the £5 fee

They used to send actual scanned copies of the change of keeper documents, so you could see the addresses for yourself.


Previously, I’ve subsequently written to previous owners and received loads of information about my bikes from them.

Our Gee.  Previously, I paid the DVLA a £5 fee and they confirm all previous owners, with copies of the previous change of keeper forms.


Is that not possible any more?

Thanks David. Good to know I’ve saved circa £1,000.


It’s in the bank, ready for when I need repairs - maybe I won’t and then I’m quids in.

David, How much have you spent on your warranty in the last 4 years?  I'm not convinced it's worth it. As you know I don't have one, thankfully haven't needed one and our bikes are very similar (albeit yours has ACF in places I don't even know about!).  My switches still work fine,...

I have another friend (Sas Korour) who is booking to come along too.  He rides a GS too. 


He owns a garage and recovery business...  Could be useful if Diesel Dave breaks down again :-) 

Well 'volunteered' Sim!


Looking forward to it - thank you.

I've used him for years.

Of if you mean the actual lens of the headlight, I think it's only available as a complete unit.

Yes, I have the paid version, because I have too many vehicles for the free one.  I think it was a one off payment of about £3.


I've been using it for years now.  I also like the flow through link for a basic HPI check at £2.49, which then stores in your 'garage'.

You do, but the app helpfully copies the registration and directs you to askMID

I've got the app 'Vehicle Smart'.  It allows you to check all of these in one place.


You can easily load all of your vehicles onto it, and it gives reminders for when the MOT / Services / Insurance etc, etc are all due. 

Just collected a 2nd hand one of these for £30.  The lady purchased it as a pet dryer, but her dog didn't like it, so it's only been used once.

Nothing.  I'm not convinced Black Friday 'Deals' are as good as they would like you to believe.
