1978 Honda CB 500 T VRT ????

210 · 2010-06-17 22:05:09

I have bought a uk registered 1978 Honda CB 500 T and checking on the ROS website it would appear that the VRT to pay this bike in is nil euro. Can this be right ? Also would anyone know the current annual tax for a 1978 bike ?

The information requested in respect of the motorcycle is indicated below.
Engine CC's 500
Date of First Registration 01/01/1978

VEHICLE REGISTRATION TAX:
(payable on enquiry date) €0

I got the same, probably right. If you can get it reg'd for €0, go for it.

Just be careful Lads,
I usually haunt the Classic Car forum. There is some buzz about the NCT people taking over the pre VRT inspections (to valuate the vehicle), and some suggestion that theVRt calculator is/ may not be working correctly.
That said I brought in an 74 mgb (VRT flat rate 48yoyos) and no problems. I always assumed it was the same for bikes - but a recent conversation has cast some doubt on that. May well be worth a phone call to VRO to confirm.

VRT for bikes is €2 for the 1st 350cc and €1 for any above with a 10% reduction starting at 3 months. Then 20% for 1 year old, 40% for 2years old etc

You can find the info from the Revenue site , download VRT Manual Section 1 and it's on page 26. I can't copy from pdf's:(

Tax is € 22 per year.

I think the VRT is correct at €0.

Registered a 1979 bike last week.
VRT is zero
Tax €22
Just brought in the V5 and nothing else.
ZV reg costs nothing extra and you can use the old style plate.

Thanks folks, seamus did you have to ask for the age related plate ? I dont realy mind the modern type of 78 Dl *** of number plate as it shows off the age of the bike. Might have to give this a bit of thought before I register now though. Any recommendations on companies providing classic bike insurance ?

You get a choice when registering the vehicle. New style reg means you generally need a new style euro plate but the rules seem to be a bit more complicated than one would think - see

I used Carole Nash for insurance mostly because I was able to set it up over the phone. Managed to haggle them down by 40 euro as I had got a better quote from another broker.
Good luck with your bike -
