I would like to ask this question cause I know some states don't require a title to register. I know for sure that Missouri requires a title to register any bike. However if I have to travel out of state to scope out bikes,it would be helpful to keep in mind which state does or don't require a title. Yes I would always ask but I want to use this info as a heads up.

 

Are you starting a Harley chop shop or something?

 

I think hes trying to avoid being stuck with a bike with no title, that is a PITA to register here in Missouri.

 

Na just want to be extra cautious in states that don't require titles.

 

Correct, The exact reason why.

 

Regardless of registration rules, if the seller can't provide you with a CLEAR TITLE and sales affidavit - then it should be NO DEAL. TX requires TITLE, INSPECTION, and proof of INSURANCE. How many follow this - not so much - I see lots of expired plates on those older than 5 years.

 

Go to this site...has a map at the bottom...you can click state by state to see title requirements.

***EDIT*** I just noticed the title requirements it shows are for off road bikes

 

A LOT of states do not issue a title if the motorcycle is over certain number of years old...go figure. If you are looking for a rare bike, and find one in that state you may have to deal with it.

 

That what I thought it was for off road cause I looked at it before. May not be helpful for street bikes.

 

Just something in the 90's.
