I may have cocked up. I have bought an FZ1. It is still in Scotland with Neil the guy I bought it from.
My question is this I may have fallen foul of the DVLA. Neil had the FZ1 on SORN. I officially became the new keeper on the 3/2/14. I did not know that a SORN is not transferable. I will not be taxing the bike until next month as I am in Spain and the FZ1 is in Scotland at Neils. I have been playing on the DVLA website checking how I tax the bike online etc! To cut a long story short I entered the bikes details and it flagged up the bike was unlicensed /not taxed which I knew. Thought I would check up about it being on SORN and that is when I found out that a SORN was not transferable. I have the V5 so thought I would get it on SORN again, which I have now done. I was informed by a generic message that I have commited an offence by not having the bike taxed or on SORN as the new keeper. I now may have to pay a fine and also pay back tax for a road fund licence.
Checked the FAQ section on the DVLA site concerning SORN
This is one of the FAQ's and an answer.
I am buying a vehicle and the previous keeper has already declared SORN. Do I have to do anything?
A SORN is not transferable from one keeper to another so you must make a SORN or tax the vehicle if you going to use or keep the vehicle on the public road.
So can I use the excuse that I currently do not intend to use or keep the vehicle on a public road as it is in a private garage?
Any advice appreciated thanks

I've got a pair of standard dog bones off my fzs600 for sale £10 posted, also standard handlebars £15 posted may also have the full box eye fairing with lights and screen for sale soon, in silver very good condition, what's it worth, I've no idea ?
I'm selling my FZS600 as I'm getting a bigger bike.
All the usual gumph - Bike has been very well looked after, service history up to 8000 miles, since then the previous owner and myself have done all of the servicing. Oil and filters changed annually, coolant changed last year, new brake pads fitted 1500 miles ago, recent carb balanced, new Metzler Z6 tyres fitted yesterday.
The bike is in very nice condition - it has a few age related marks, as you would expect. I've owned it for four years and it runs and rides superbly - it's been totally reliable. It's been kept under cover and not used through the winter, just the engine run every week.
A whole array of tasteful upgrades including:
Foxeye fairing.
Hel braided brake lines
TCP belly pan
Rear hugger
FZS1000 rear brake caliper upgrade.
Ermax undertray.
Simmi carbon exhaust.
Renthal ultra low handlebars.
Stainless downpipes.
Stainless bleed nipples on all of the brake callipers.
Iridiun plugs
K&N air filter.
New uprated 12mm front sprocket nut.
Brand new Metzler Z6 tyres (done 15 miles)
Fazer tool kit.
The bike has done 16500 miles and will come with 12 months MOT.
The chain and sprockets are in good condition, but I do have a brand new genuine Fazer chain and sprocket set that I can sell with the bike at a bargain price.
Looking to change my daily ride from a '98 Tiger to an 05 Triumph Sprint (mate selling and it's mint). Trouble is I've never got on with clip ons so would be looking to change the bars to give a similar riding position to the Fazer.
Never done this before so any advice welcome. Would be looking to have the bars no wider than a standard Fazer boxeye.
Shark Vision-R helmet, gloss black, size 57/58cm (medium). Clear pinlock fitted, internal sun visor,
helmet bag included. Only worn twice, so as new condition-found to be wrong size (too small.
Buyer to collect Manchester area. £50.
