Give the DVLA a call and see what they say...

I thought about phoning DVLA but I've never found them even slightly helpful with things like this in the past.
Jim - that link is for a US site so I don't think it will cover bikes imported into the UK.
As far as I can tell VIN number checking is a trade-only facility. If I give in and call DVLA I'l report back and let you know what they said...
