Hello,
I am finally quite near to finish registration of my A7 plunger (1951) in Czech Rep. But due to high level of bureaucracy I need to find out some more details about my motorbike. Those which are not written in my V5 document. Maybe someone of you can help me with a scan of your registration document where I will see this    information. Our authorities needs a scan, they do not accept any other source. I think that the most detailed registration they are having in Germany.
Of course you can hide your registration number, VIN and Engine number.
I need especially:
- Max net power (kW)/ engine speed (min-1)
- width
- Mass in service
- Max. permissible mass
- revenue weight
- max speed

The most important is the information about the weight of the motorbike.
Please share if your are willing to do so. Any of missing information visible on your registration form can help me.

Thanks
Martin

You've got no hope with that Martin. I too have a 1951 A7 and that sort of info isn't in the V5C and never has been.
Trust the Germans to go into the nth technical (and irrelevant) details though.

Those details are not require when registering an old bike in the UK so very unlikely to be on any UK issued V5.

Max permissible mass is not a required detail when registering any bike in the UK.

Revenue weight is not require when registering  any vehicle 3500kg or less in UK.

Max net power, width, mass in service would be taken from a "certificate of conformity" which dont exist for old bikes, though  BSA published annual "data books" which included the engine power in BHP, the width and dry weight.

BSA used to produce a book every year called The BSA Motorcycles ???? Data Book where ???? is the year. Here is the front page and index from 1954 I took from the internet showing what it contains including power outputs and weights. I assume that somebody on here has a copy from the early 50's that would show some of the info you need.

Below pages from the 1951 BSA  Data book.

Dry weight is not the same as maximum permissible weight. The definition would be needed. In UK in includes a driver weight of 75kg and 90% fuel for a car not known if same definition for a bike.
