If you have legal cover with your insurance get a solicitor and even if you do not get one anyway and then write to the police telling them you are hiring a solicitor and will seek full recovery of all your costs as you are entirely innocent. Take pictures of all of your UK bikes from the same approximate angle as the NIP photo and find whatever evidence you can that it could not have been you.
I once got a visit from South Wales Police saying I had driven off from a petrol station without paying. I had been in that petrol station but I did pay. I did not keep the credit card receipt.
Luckily my girlfriend kept the receipt for the petrol she bought on the way home, timed at the time of the alleged offence but 150 miles nearer civilisation.
