Question regarding bike registration in CA
Hey gang,
I have a question regarding registering a motorcycle in CA.
I just purchased a 2007 1098s Tricolore with 1900-ish miles. Very excited. Just gave him a deposit and will pick it up this week.
I purchased the bike from a gentleman here in SoCal. He used the bike for a few months as a track bike. He purchased it from someone in Florida. As a track bike, he never registered it here in CA.
Hence, he does not have a title. In lieu of it, he will be giving me an MSO (Manufacturers Statement of Origin) and the bill of sale. I read in many states, the DMV will accept it.
Will I encounter any issues at the DMV? I know I will be paying a sales tax. Will it have to undergo smog? I read on CA DMV that as long as the vehicle in question is 50 state certified it can be registered. My understanding is that all late model Ducs are?
Thanks in advance.
Mike
