it has now slightly changed m8, used to be a £5 and a covering letter, but i did the same with the 16i and it got returned with the new form you have to fill in.
It looks like you can also ask for info on cars that you dont own , they do ask you why you want the info, there is section asking if you not the owner have you been involved with an accident of the car/bike etc.
I think its all to do with the data protection act and its takes longer to get back now - mine took nearly a month, use to be a week or two.
sorry cant remeber the name of the form but the post office should have it or i think you can download it from there website.
