No matter what State you are in you will need MCO (vehicle type "motorcycle" if you want it plated for road use), and bill of sale.

1. Verify the MCO is NOT marked up or written on, and same with the BOS
2. Make sure the seller is listed as buyer on the BOS
3. You will almost certainly need a second BOS from the seller, dated, with odometer reading indicated, because he is named on the original BOS

Miscellaneous...There will likely be a late registration fee. This is often a monthly increment, with maximum of some value (maybe $100).
You will need same things everyone else needs for your state. This is likely a personal property tax receipt, proof of financial responsibility (insurance).

You might need a State Highway Patrol "ID/OD" inspection. This is needed for cross State purchases in Missouri. This is just a form from your State police with odometer reading and VIN verification.

It is possible that you will need an inspection as well. In Missouri, it is no longer needed if the vehicle has under 149k miles on it. We were lucky when this change happened last year.

Make a call to your head office motor vehicle division and have a pen ready to check off the items you need. You do not want to be one of those bozos that are turned away after standing in line because you didn't find out in advance and get everything you need!

[0QUOTE=GigaXi;400366]Hi everyone! I’m a long time lurker, first time member! I’m looking to get a Chinese dirt bike, specifically a Templar 250. I found a kid that wants to get rid of his. He’s asking 500 bucks, which sounds almost too good to be true. He said he barely used it and everything works, except he took the carb off to do an upgrade but never actually got around to finishing it. He said everything works though, and honestly even if it doesn’t 500 bucks is kind of a steal (right?). But the thing is, when he received the bike he never got it registered. He still has all the papers that came with it. MCO and everything. Do you think I’d be able to get it registered in my name with the MCO? I’m in Arizona if that helps. Sorry if it’s a dumb question, I’ve never dealt with anything like this. Last time I switched cars it was just a simple title transfer. Thanks everyone!
