[QUOTE="rickysnickers, post: 1303292, member: 332"] For our conversation, I am only referring to used bikes brought in from out of CA, private party or dealer it doesn't really matter. With that said, I will also say I know you are an LEO, so what I say here you will already know, but some others might not. So forgive me I'm not trying to insult anybody's intelligence. When a bike is purchased, you get the title and a receipt or bill of sale. These are to be taken to a police station where a VIN inspection is done. The officer will look at the VIN and engine number to make sure they match what's on the title. If those things are ok, then he/she will check to see what emissions schedule the bike falls under, i.e. Federal, CA only, or Federal and CA. If CA is mentioned anywhere on the bike, it's good to go. In this case, where it meets CA emissions, there is no mileage requirement. If it does not meet the CA emissions, then it has to have at least 7500 miles on the bike. Here's a link to the form the officer has to fill out, [URL="https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/wcm/connect/052f05b3-ea4f-4cde-b017-3d970b8ea1a4/reg31.pdf?MOD=AJPERES"]https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/wcm/connect/052f05b3-ea4f-4cde-b017-3d970b8ea1a4/reg31.pdf?MOD=AJPERES[/URL] Even though there's a reference to CHP, any peace officer can do the inspection. After this inspection, the owner takes the paperwork to the DMV, or better yet, a AAA office and turns all that in. There they will pay all the fees and crap. AAA issues the license plate on the spot. I don't know if the DMV does that or not, since I haven't been there in years to do any registration stuff. As an aside, I would never buy a vehicle with only a bill of sale. If there's no title, then they don't get my $. [/QUOTE]
