I figured I wold post this just in case someone had the same thoughts.
Option 1: "The easy way"
1. Purchase bike
2. Go to DMV
3. You need the Certificate of Origin (Or MSO)
4. You need a Bill of sale
5. You MAY need a Vin verification
6. Pay taxes, Reg/License fee and walk out with a plate/Reg/Title.
Option 2: "Doc's way"
1. Purchase bike WITHOUT Certificate of Origin
2. Go to DMV
3. Have Bill of sale and Reg paperwork.
4. Be polite and act lost.
5. Get told that you need the C of O
6. Repeat step 4.
7. Get told you need Vin verification and the C of O.
8. Repeat step 4.
9. Get 60 day Temp Reg and plate with reminder that you need to get the Vin verification and C of O to the DMV within 60 days.
10. Have cop friend come do Vin verification
11. Have the guy you sold the bike to look for the C of O AGAIN
12. Call connections at Honda dealer and ask for assistance (still waiting)
13. Ask used bike dealer friend for assistance (No help)
14. Search the web and find that you MAY need a letter from Honda saying they don't give out duplicate MSO/C of O's and hope that will fly with the DMV.
15. Search for original owner (just in case)
And so the saga continues.
Good news: The CRF is plated and I will be riding it soon.
Bad news: Possibly $222 to ride it for 60 days.
