Engines without engine numbers...

Can somebody explain this please...

Is it against the law to drive around on a bike that the engine numbers have been grinded off?

or is it illegal to drive around with the engine numbers intact but not matching the v5 logbook?

I did try to look for the pages and use the search but i couldn't find the posts that i remembered reading it from.

thanks

dont refurb engines not have any? what iv read anyway.

 

file the plate flat and say you dont have a clue where the engine numbers are, no one checks on scooters, however i would never buy an engine with numbers missing because its encouraging people to steal scooters

 

Thanks, but i just need to know the laws about it.

 

as far as i can tell as long as its a like-for-like engine there shouldnt be a problem as the vehicle identity is on the chassis number

 

that is a bit stereo-typical...

because say you had a bike with no engine numbers and wanted to sell the bike would you tell him...''nah mate don't buy my bike it ain't got engine numbers'' :rofl:

i can understand where your coming from wobbly but theres also other views/exceptions
