    Getting a title for an old bike?

    I want to buy a 81 Honda CB750 in NH. The guy has no title, but can give a notarized bill of sale. Is that good enough to register the bike in MA, or apply for a title?

    Thanks all!

    I bought my zx from a guy in NH and the registry wanted a noterized bill of sale. Then I was issued a MA title. Good luck

    lol, check ur source bro'

    http://www.mass.gov/rmv/regs/index.htm

    1.) bill of sale

    2.) previous valid street registration (if it's 15 years old or older)

    and wtf does a notarized BoS do, to prove that he actually owned it and didn't steal it?

    I hope this bike is free or sub $300

    Sure, as long as you are willing to take the chance of being denied insurance coverage for a fraudulent registration, go for it.

    YOu will need a BOS and a old or current reg in the owners name. A Notorized BOS wont get you a thing. MA Sucks like that.

    Like people have said Mass wants a bill of sale and a registration. The registration doesn't have to be an active one, it just needs to be for the vehicle/motorcycle and have the same name as the person selling it to you on the Bill of Sale.


    If the person you are buying it from lives in NH they should be able to register it without much issue in NH and you can register it in Mass easily. Mass will even accept a NH temporary registration.
