I contacted the Ducati factory asking for the date of manufacture for a bike last Sept, I supplied all the data that they asked for which was:
- a picture of the engine
- a picture of the front
- a picture of the back
- pictures of the 2 sides of the bike
- a picture of the frame number punched on the bike
- a picture of the engine number punched on the bike
- a copy of the registration document where it is shown the VIN and your name as current owner
- a copy of a valid ID document
Ducati here in the UK are chasing this up for me - five months later as yet nothing back from Bologna.
In the meantime I decided to use the dating setup on the DOCGB website, two weeks later a cert arrived that is recognised by the DVLA- now I have an age related plate.
I had to join the club, however this entitled me to one cert free of charge.
Dont forget you will require NOVA certs as well.
Pic of the bike a Mach1 which shares a garage with an SP5, so that sort of fits the forum!
Take care
Bob
