I knew that my 2000 Bullet 500 had 9 previous owners but I always wondered where they were. I sent off a V888 information request form to the DVLA with a five pound cheque and a couple of weeks later photocopies of all the previous V5 Registration documents arrived. It makes such interesting reading It's moved around a fair bit including Wales, Yorkshire, Sussex, Hampshire, Oxford and Northamptonshire. A couple of the forms also had the mileage entered, which combined with MOTs tell me that all is in order. The mileage is low which I had always been wary of, but it looks to have spent a few years only doing a handful of miles each year to an MOT station and back. * An exercise that was well worth doing in my opinion. If you want to do the same, you can download a V888 form off the DVLA website.

Thank you for the info Midge.......Sometimes I wondered about our Bullet that had 5 owners from 1992 - 1996 who averaged less than 1k miles each with the last owner totally trashing the engine....Must be worth a fiver if only to satisfy my curiosity

Hi MIDGE, and thanks for that VERY useful bit of info.....Would those results also show any documents relating to an "imported" bike as well?? ( My No1. Bike is supposed to be an Indian home market job---according to the engine and frame details).
