Hi all - needing help tracing my fathers vz 800

Good morning all , my names Brian 

I'm currently trying to trace the current owner of my late fathers v plate vz800 marauder

It was sold during his illness a few years ago and since his passing I've been desperate to have it back in the family 

It's very distinctive with custom white paint and it had white wall tyres at time of sale 

I believe it is in Ireland 

The reg is V170 KPU

Any information will be greatly appriceated and treat in strictest confidence 



Thank you for taking time to read , will try to post pic

Hi Beefy,

Interesting concept - hope you get some help with tracing the bike.

I wonder if the registration number will have changed if it went to Northern Ireland ?

It is most likely to have changed if it went to Southern Ireland.

Do you have the chassis number or engine numbers - 'cos if so you might be able to approach the vehicle registration authorities. Might even be worth an enquiry with DVLA.

Good luck in your search.

Approached the dvla went through all proper channels etc and was told they cannot release the information 

On dvla site it's showing the same colour and that it currently t&t on reg check 

Really am running out of ideas hence hoping the site can help 

Currently posting via iPhone will try n post a pic when I get on laptop

Have you thought of contacting the RAC and the AA and Green flag, tell them what the crack is and ask if they could pass on your detail to the current owner if they have it on file.
Do you have a picture of it cause it may catch someones eye if there was something not 100% factory about it

Best of luck

Hi beefy, Have you tried Facebook?, posting it in things like "biker mates", "100% biker" and other such groups? could be worth a try.

Good luck with your hunt. Have you thought of a letter to MCN begging their help. Although it's not a "cruiser" specific paper there's plenty of folk in the biking brotherhood who may know someone who knows someone etc.

Thanks for the input guys.  

I'll sort pic asap

Welcome -beefy-, I hope a picture helps someone on here, good luck mu friend, we'll do all we can to help.

Can the DVLA searchable public records indicate where the bike was last MOT'd ?

I will not give the address - but if it gives the testing station number you can then try to back track from that.

Hi Beefy admirable what your trying to do    with your search

Struggling to upload pics 

But have created a FB page 

https://www.facebook.com/dadswhitemarauder

If you could like & share

What an excellent example Brian, I am sure the guys here will upload the pictures for you.

Hi Brian, I've shared on fb and downloaded a couple of pics for the site, Nice Bike! good luck 

Love it, a great looking bike.

Thanks guys , I did the work myself during his illness , unfortunately he didn't have the energy to ride it . 


It's one of three bikes he owned ( 4th was written off and no chance of recovery )  I have the other two I'm my possession 


But I need this bike back !!!!! 

Keep sharing folks

Still searching folks !!! 


A thank you to all who liked and shared the page !!! 

Any leads would be great !!!!

hi brian ardie here from londonderry do you think bike is in northern ireland or southern ireland as this will make a diff as to any help i can be .if in north might be able to ask a favour of friend in police if only to pass ur details on to current owner

I believe it Is in Bangor ardie , 

North or south I'm not sure ,  surely it can hurt to ask your friend either way , I believe it's still on uk plates as it showing on dvla checker - ardie any information that leads to owner will see a reward to parties involved in helping to find it , 


My mobile is 07787354837 should anyone want to speak in confidence ..

hi brian bangor is in northern ireland  not far of beifast will see friend this w end and see if he can help. any help i can be will be given free .have posted this on our facebook over here will ask for people in bangor area to help .red tape might hinder wat he can do with data protection laws and the like but we will try our best where there a will  theres a way .what makes u think its northern ire land reason i ask is theres a bangor in wales

I collected the chap from the local train station ardie , obviously engaging in conversation he mentioned he's from Bangor , I had actually forgot but my missus ( her family being from belmullet c/mayo ) rembered . It must be an Irish thing to rember any conversation about Ireland lol 


Anyway I know he was booked on the return ferris that eve from Stranraer 

So that's why I'm asking for anyone local to there to keep any eye open


I'm not asking or expecting anyone to break the law or put there jobs on the line , 

But even if he could just Inform the owner , opposed to sharing his info with me that would surely be enough to open contact

hi brian yes thats what i am thinking have nt been able to see him yet as he changed his phone no recently. have a couple of bike clubs informed bangor not that big i am hopeful there will be a positive outcome to this.rest assured ill keep at it

Can't thank you enough for your efforts !!
