That`s what I thought !! And it`s wrong. Database is as good as the information available/provided.
Nothing to do with the operator.

While I certainly would have ribbed Rick over the years for his trainspotting tendancies. He started collecting this info when were riding out of date , out of fashion old bikes. It`s an awful lot of work , which he has stuck at , as it was his hobby. Bit of a stamp collecter Ol Rick.
Now, however, by good fortune , it`s become a very useful tool ,and valuable addtion to the knowledge and history of the models and Marque.. We could never have foreseen the boom in the Classic Vintage Jap bike scene. Or the muppetery of the DVLa , which has resulted in Rick`s hobby turning into a really useful help in keeping/getting more nad more of these bikes on the road. HURRAH !!!

Yep, "YND" (especially around the 400's) was generally issued toImports

The database was started so very long ago that it predates Microsoft Office and is not as easily interogated as you'd imagine if you are thinking in terms of the contemporay software you are familiar with.

Its not in the 400's Rick - YND167L

Integrated Hal. I think you meant , integrated !!

I had a YDS7 Yam with a YND xx L number plate. Was back in the day when the Local DVLA`s handed out numbers. I think they used up old unallocated reg numbers , from a centrally held list ?

At least there is one other bright person here, sheesh - I absolutely did mean interogated of course.
Neil, what are you on, you know I try to select the appropriate words - even if I occasionally mis-spell.

I don't understand Neil? Why are you stating the obvious, what am I missing?

Peter Mac I just looked it up on the vehicle enquiry service-gov website,
on the H1D -SHX 45L and it says its not been taxed since the end of
May 1980.So it wont be that H1D

Ach Tony !! Whatever seems obvious to me , often appears pretty obtuse to some others.

It was in the context of the discussion, there is a hugely modified bike and you were talking about it mixing up parts like a standard bike . As if it was a critique of a standard restoration . "well, that bit is from a year later. The D had a different seat catch " That sort of thing.
Thing about wit. It doesn't seem so numerous when it needs to be explained. At least in type , you can't say you don't understand my accent !!! Y'ken min ???

Ah I see. It doesn't matter about the mix of parts, I actually said it looks quite good if it was the right money. The point I was making was some things don't quite add up and as with any special it would need a careful looking at. Caveat emptor
