Title: Model info at DVLA.
Post by: Icefever on June 05, 2017, 11:40:54 AM

I've just printed my insurance policy off ready for our trip to France, I've noticed that the bike is down as a ZZR 1400.  I've phoned Bennetts and they say that they can not change the model name to GTR as their system does not show that model.

I then phoned the DVLA and the lady was very good, she checked and all the info was the same on their system as my V5, but it does not show a GTR model either????

Why then is there different model names/numbers??

Don't KHI call it the ZG1400?

The badge on the side is meaningless really.

You've hit the nail on the head Paul... :clap:  ZG1400 is the correct name...as on the V5. I also rang Bennetts back and the lady that I spoke too found GTR on their system when the guy from the first call couldn't find it.

The good news is....as the original  guy had input the model as a ZZR 1400,  I've got a rebate of £200..... :banana: :banana:

Great result for us,  it was only after I'd printed off the policy to take with us that I noticed the mistake.   As Paul said more spending money...... :banana:  :clap:
