Where did the bike come from to be running a Q plate?

It looks in great shape.

Came from the US . I am reliably informed that the bike was recovered as salvage from a house fire but it was in a separate building that was completely unaffected .

It is a shame that who ever imported it didn't get something completely right as it could of got an age related plate.

NOW I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN . Been paying Ł132 a year with Swinton on the Sportster , now they want Ł800 a year and 11 years no claims down the toilet because it's on a Q plate . I'm not too dismayed just yet because there are specialised brokers who will do Q plates notably Bikesure so I'll call them in the morning .
