Not in simple words
You might try Honda main offices - I will have the details somewhere - they may know where it was shipped to
The registration plate will probably cut it down to a number but most have gone now

How easy is it to find out the dealer of where your bike was first sold ?? Your best bet would be to download a DVLA V888 form (assuming you are the current registered keeper, if not don't bother). After a month or so you will have the full history on your bike including the supplying dealer who PDI'd it. Good luck.

I did it around five years ago.....took around a month maybe a bit more to get the info but they sent me a stack of info (photostats of previous V5's etc) for my silver deluxe from day one......found out it was originally supplied by Fowlers of Bristol. I got excited about that because that dealer was (and still is I think) in business to this day. Sounds like it could be hit and miss then from your experience. Worth a stab though.

i think the service was discontinued a couple of years ago, too expensive to operate and in breach of data protection laws. there are only certain categories where dvla will give out keeper information

Information about another vehicle or its registered keeper You can ask for details of another vehicle’s registered keeper. You’ll need a ‘reasonable cause’, for example:
finding out who was responsible for an accident tracing the registered keeper of an abandoned vehicle tracing the registered keeper of a vehicle parked on private land giving out parking tickets giving out trespass charge notices tracing people responsible for driving off without paying for goods and services tracing people suspected of insurance fraud Private car parking management companies that give out parking tickets or trespass charge notices can only request information from DVLA if they’re members of the British Parking Association or the International Parking Community.
How to make a request Fill in a form and apply by post. The form you need to use depends on whether you’re:
an individual - use form V888

To start you off, I can tell you the area it was registered.
What’s the first three letters on the reg plate?
Last three if August 83 or later.
