Truth is that there are various methods of registration in even the same State, AND some offices will be HOSTILE to Chinese bikes, and others will not.

Heck, even SHIPPERS can be hostile to a crated Chinese bike!!

So a REJECTED list needs to be added.
Members can describe the rejection, rational, what they had or didn't ready for the process. This can answer at least some questions, and warn people where NOT to go!!

You are more than welcome to start that list.

Well, I have not had a problem registering in Missouri.

I remember back in 1982 or so I bought a Honda XR250. No turn signals, no horn, no battery, and I had no problem registering it in a rural New Mexico town!!


I don't think that would happen today, but I think that the key is having all of your paperwork in hand. For new bikes, you need the manufacturer's certificate of origin ("MCO"), and it has to show "motorcycle", not dirt bike or off road only.

Insurance is required (presumably every State!). This can be tough with some insurance companies if the brand/manufacturer is not in their database. I had good luck with Geico, but I was ADDING a bike, already had a Suzuki insured with Geico, and no claims on record. I had to read the company name (Wuyi Zumaav for the Templar). And I was only asking for liability/financial responsibility level insurance.

The bill of sale/sales receipt is usually easy.

Many States require proof that your personal property tax is paid, up to date.

Having it all there, and being friendly seems to work. If it is insured and all off the boxes are checked, it makes their life easier.
