Frequently asked questions

What goes on a motorcycle bill of sale?

The date, both parties, the year, make, model and VIN, the odometer reading, the engine size, the price and signatures. Your state may ask for more.

Is a moped treated the same as a motorcycle?

Not always. Some states register or title mopeds differently or not at all. The state picker links to the agency page that says.

Why list the engine size?

Engine displacement can decide which class a machine falls in under your state's rules. It is also a quick check against the title.

What about a dirt bike that is not street legal?

Use the ATV, UTV and dirt bike form, which has fields for a frame number and an off-highway registration number.

Do I need the odometer on a bike with a broken gauge?

Say so on the form with the 'not the actual mileage' option, and check what the state's title form requires.

Should I get a signed title as well?

Yes. For a titled motorcycle the signed title carries the transfer; the bill of sale is the record beside it.
