Just be aware that I’ve tried to do this before and they won’t issue a log book without the registration. The good news you can sometimes get access to an online database where VIN numbers are matched to the registration. And if you can get the registration you can apply for a log book.

No problem. If you’re willing to pay for the data it’s possible. I’m a tight git, managed a get a trial account and found the registration. I got very lucky as it was limited to registrations containing A which mine turned out to be!
Attached a screen grab I took. I actually got given the bike in question as part of another deal, 50cc so no requirement for it but made a few £ once I had the logbook.

Surely that site is just using DVLA data? VIN numbers are held on the DVLA database. Surprised DVLA can't find the original reg no if you give them the manufacturer and VIN.

Things might have changed but they wouldn’t help me. They stated that without the VRM they would not be able to issue a log book and would need to be re-registered. Complete bullshit in my opinion which is why I went the other route, and worked out quite nicely.

MTREAD....thats what i was thinking,years back i bought a gt185,again no logbook but i did have a reg number,wrote to them ,thay contacted the registered owner to make sure i wasn`t stealing the bike and issued me with a logbook...easy...but things were easy back then :rolleyes
ive had a little search on the web and most sites are asking for a 17 digit vin, mines 12 , changed in approx 1981,looking at my 1981 x7 and it also has a 12 digit vin,the two vin numbers have 6000 between them so i know its earlier than 1981,no real surprise there as they stopped making them in 1982... i just need to do a bit more digging,no real rush and if i cant get a log book i have my moneys worth in parts...would be a shame to scrap the frame though......

One of my pals has just bought a new 900 GT Tracer which needs running in. So took advantage of the fairly empty roads, and had a whizz round Kent and Surrey on the Triumph, to keep him company. His advised rev limit equalled 80mph, so good progress was made which racked up another 180 miles on the old Speed Triple, whilst self isolating at the same time. :thumbup
