RVIPF seized three bikes in latest road patrol operations
The new Commissioner of Police Mr Mark Collins had stated in May, "that operations targeting motorists who violate the Road Traffic Laws would continue during the summer months."
He explained that "Those operations to pursue owners of illegal bikes and those that cause a noise nuisance are specifically planned to minimise the risks to riders, the public and officers."
Monday's operation
The RVIPF said an operation carried out on Monday, August 2, 2021, by the Road Policing Unit and the Armed Response Unit on various locations around Tortola "resulted in the confiscation of three cycles -- one 1300cc, one 750cc and a 125cc."
The press release on Wednesday, August 4, 2021, said the riders whose motorcycles were not permitted in the VI were arrested.
"One was charged for driving without a driver's license and driving when not covered by third party risk insurance, and the other was discharged pending further investigation. Advice is being sought on further charges through the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution. The rider of the 125cc motorcycle was reported for driving without a driver's license and driving an unlicensed and uninsured vehicle," it said.

Also, if they were to put them up for sale I believe first preference would go to BV Islanders who may have a similar business operation in another jurisdiction (USVI perhaps) where the noted sized bikes are in fact legal.
But who knows? In any regards your application would be more suitably be responded to if you were to make the proposal to RBVIPF rather than on social media.
