Hi Dan a Q plate bike will never make as much money if your doing it up, least not one on a standard reg plate due to the stigma of possibly being stolen and recovered. Years ago a mate of mine bought a Suzuki X7 from the insurance company/ police sales it was stolen and recovered and all the numbers had been ground off. The feds identified the bike allegedly by x raying the frame. And the insurance company paid out on it. He new all the old numbers and owner etc but it couldn’t be put back on the road with those numbers or the reg plate. So he then stamped his door number and post code on the casings and frame and registered it with DVLA once it was MOTd. Showing my age now but back in the early 80’s a Q plate was rather popular what with all the 250-350lc’s making it on the tracks for production racing and then being put back on the road. With that in mind they are a lot of trikes out there on Q plates that were home built with the back end of a VW Beetle. All legit just the front end will have numbers from a chopped up bike and not match.
