when you submit your V55 registration application the DVLA may also request you submit a NOVA certificate to prove that it is not an imported vehicle and duties and taxes are paid
if you have a Uk bike that is not currently held on DVLA records i think they still require a NOVA ref to issue registration
i would get in touch with HMRC prior to submitting your registration docs and get clarification i was advised by DVLA to get my vehicle on the NOVA system prior to submitting registration application
a couple of e mails may save you six weeks waiting if your application is rejected for not having the NOVA
Good luck
