Default Getting Title or MSO from Gas Gas

PO did not have any paperwork when I bought my 06 EC200. Looks like it originally came with all the bits to be street legal. Anybody had any success getting a title or MSO from Gas Gas?

Thanks,

Ken

Some guys are registering and tagging their under 300 cc bikes in the state of Vermont. They register them even to out of state owners. Vermont does not issue a title for under 300 cc, so the registration for the tag becomes your proof of ownership. After receiving the Vermont tag & registration, you should then be able to use that paper work to apply for a title & tag in your state.

Log onto the Vermont DMV site and check it out for yourself.

(FYI: Vermont does do a vin# check, so be aware of that)

Each state has their own regulations, so best bet is talk to someone in the title bureau about what exactly is required. I'll use my case as an example of what can go wrong:

Here in Ohio we have some pretty strict regulations. When I bought my bike used the seller didn't have the title but had the M.S.O. for it. I looked at the states requirements and the list stated they would except a M.S.O. when applying for title. He purchased new from a dealer in New York who shipped to Ohio without applying for title. The guy didn't want to pay sales tax so he never applied for title either. When I went to title the bike, I found out the Title Bureau would not accept the M.S.O. because they are non-transferable in Ohio. They would only accept the M.S.O. from original purchaser.

So if I wanted to get the title, I would have to take time off work, convince the previous owner to do the same, drive 3 hrs across the state and meet him at the Title Bureau where he would then apply for the title. At that point the sales tax would then be charged and he obviously wasn't going to pay it so that would be coming out of my pocket.

Then after we got all that done, he technically would be the legal owner of my bike with title in his name. Then we could do a title transfer to me. I'm sorry but that requires too big of a leap of faith for me. Sooooo... long story short, I bought a used frame with clear title and swapped everything over to that and now I'm technically the legal owner of a 2011 EC250 with 2009 EC300 Six Day components.

I see you are in VA. Its easy. I've done several. Just go on the DMV website and search for Abandoned Vehicle Title. Follow the steps. Do not call it a dirt bike. Just call it a motorcycle. Don't ask questions about titling a dirt bike. When you go into the DMV at the final stage register it and get tags. Thats it. No special inspection needed. I've done a lot of bikes in VA its easy. You do have a couple of required waiting periods. Both 21 days. Any questions feel free to call me.

Thanks Matt. This is what I was looking for. I know how to do the deal with VT, which is relatively easy. Have never attempted the abandoned title in VA. Done the prerequisite title searches, bike is definitely not stolen, and has never been titled in the states.

Thanks Ken
