Looking at a bike with no title. Can I register it or what? How does this work?

thanks

 

Depends on your state's DMV rules. Try checking their website for details.

 

Can you say "track bike"??

 

if you cant get it the tittle, find a doner/wrecked bike and swap everything, or like ^^^^^^said trackbike...................

 

I went through a title service with mine. It's getting harder and more expensive by the year, but I paid $125 and got a title and registration from Maine (I live in NY lol). All I needed to do was to send in a bill of sale that I had my local motorcycle junkyard owner make for me, proof of insurance, and some notarized paperwork confirming the VIN and some other stuff. Good luck.

125? My DMV site says $4 plus notary fees. What the?

Also would I have to get insurance BEFORE I can have it registered?

 

i know in ny you have to have insurance before you can register.

 

It is a federal MV law, you have to have insurance to have a valid registration. They can even suspend you license for having a registered vehicle without insurance.

Yeah, the title service is a 3rd party company that uses some sort of loophole in the system to get titles for bikes that have no paperwork at all. The alternative is to go to a state inspection station that will look over all the part numbers on your bike to make sure nothing is stolen. This costs upwards of $150 I believe.
