#Size of canadian motorcycle plates license#
I bought a new bike in Colorado while on vacation, and got a two week or 30 day temporary plate, and kept riding it until getting back home to Minnesota. All he has to do is get proof he sold it to someone so that he's no longer liable for taxes (or parking tickets/moving violations) on it. You might be able to talk your current insurance company into covering it, under the little white lie that you are intending to ride (or trailer) it home, without having to tell them you are going to California along the way.īuying it is no problem, it isn't the seller's problem to worry about where the buyer lives. The biggest hurdle will be getting insurance. That would remove all the problems associated with transferring the title. You could simply stop worrying about selling it and look at purchasing an inexpensive bike as being cheaper than renting one for two weeks.įor sure you could sell it for a few hundred bucks as a parts bike (no title) when you're done with it. Realistically, the VIN inspector at the DMV will see the odometer and generally not bother looking for the emissions label-grey-market and illegally imported cars will already have gotten caught at smog check. Fees are the same whether it's a CARB-compliant vehicle or an EPA-spec vehicle brought in legally.Įdit: technically, all vehicles have to meet EPA standards even if they're exempt from CARB. So now you can either register it or you're SOL. The old "smog abatement fee" was the subject of a lawsuit that CARB lost in spectacular fashion and had to pay back a couple million dollars. Vehicles obtained through divorce or inheritance (but NOT sale or gift from living family members) Replacement of a resident's vehicle stolen or wrecked and written off out-of-state New resident-vehicle registered to me in my former state and I move to California with it That means that a 2014 ST1300 with 7501 miles is good to go, but a 1985 KE100 with 5000 miles on it can't be registered in CA unless it meets one of the other exemptions. Worth noting for bikes is that there's no age limit (other than the standard not having existed previous to 1978). The tailpipe standards were different from 2004-10 but are the same now. The only difference today is that CARB requires evaporative control and the EPA doesn't. Also, despite there being ~10 other states that follow CARB rules for cars, California is the only state that uses their bike standards. There are exceptions (BMW G450X wasn't CARB-certified, DL650s with ABS 08-11 were all 50-state, etc.) but generally that's how it goes. Generally speaking, European bikes are 50-state but Japanese bikes come in two versions.
