    well if you're into that kinda thing i'd get it mot'd first then drop the sr lump in but i think mot is only safety issues therefore as long asyou've put it in no problem you should be ok.

    they might check the vin number or what ever though

    not the based place to ask abt this kind of thing

    the mot has nothing to do with checking the engine number tho if that helps your quest for driving uninsured?

    well stick to your bikes then... or sell your bikes so you can afford more expensive insurance...

    insure it propperly or don't bother doing it

    if i were you i'd keep with the bikes an just buy a cheap run about,

    i wish i'd brought my mates cbr600 rather than spend the money i did on the nova wouldn't have lost so much money that way but nevermind! at least i have got a pretty nice nova at the end of the day
