    You can. All you will see is the make and model and number of owners though. And bikes can go through a number of owners.

    so the registration number does not change and it gives me an accurate number of past owners?

    Yep. I wouldn't rate a bike on the number of owners though. For a lot of people that buy them they are toys and are changed regularly. And you have a clear progression for most riders of moving up through the power ranks. So its not uncommon for a good bike to change owners once a year.

    Its also not uncommon to buy bikes that are ten to twenty years old. They don't have the same limited lifespan as cars.
