pennsylvania motorcycle title question...?

Question

Hi all, i bought a reviously titled 1975 dual sport. the person from whom i bought it did not have the title, but i need one for it to make it street legal again. I have a signed bill of sale, but thats it. any ideas?

Answer 1

try asking the previous owner to have a title search done from the DMV then for a fee of around 30 bucks a new copy of the title can be issued worst case witha bill of sale you may be able to get an "R" title issued for it but try a title search first

Answer 2

did the last owner ever have the title? if so, you can apply for a duplicate, or it would be better if he did. They take a while to get together, 6 weeks or somethin, so be prerpared to wait(although you wont get to do much ridin for a while, cuz of the weather). If you dont know who had the original title, you can try applying for an R-title, but i dont know all that well whats involved with that.

Goood luck, and maybe ill see you on the road come april, or may, or june....

Answer 3

The previous owner needs to get a duplicate title and sign it over to you. It's illegal to sell a vehicle without a title -- and stunningly stupid to buy a vehicle without one since you can't even legally junk it without the title.

Answer 4

Go to Wiggin's (or Best) auto tags and they can help you out. Just tell them you need a title transfer and they'll take care of it for around $35.00. I'm not sure if they're all over, but they are in the Philly area.

Answer 5

you could own a motor vehicle without the purpose of using it on the line strategies. Like a motor domicile parked on your land some the place, or a truck that continues to be on your farm. Or a motorbike on your series.
