Title: Out of State Purchase Post by: mbalmer on July 08, 2008, 12:18:49 PM If you buy a used motorcycle out of state does it need to be smogged when registered in CA?
Title: Re: Out of State Purchase Post by: duckwrench13 on July 08, 2008, 12:22:29 PM To the best of my knowledge, and experience, no smog is needed. Although it must be at least 2 years older than current model year, or over X,XXX miles... not sure of the exact number.
DMV should have it listed on their site. Title: Re: Out of State Purchase Post by: TCK! on July 08, 2008, 12:50:46 PM 7000 miles if my memory serves me correctly.
Title: Re: Out of State Purchase Post by: Popeye the Sailor on July 08, 2008, 03:26:39 PM No smog but if it's not above the two year/mileage dealie they give it to you pretty good when you register it.
I bought mine before I knew I was moving out here. When I took the job, moved and went to register it...cost over $600. Ow.

Make sure you don't take off either one - ask me how I know.
Title: Re: Out of State Purchase Post by: hbliam on July 08, 2008, 05:50:48 PM There is no mileage factor as long as the bike meets emissions. Pretty much all newer bikes do. All late model Ducati's do.

All late model Ducati's do. +1 with only one caveat, if it even applies to any late model bikes anymore. The bike needs to be 50-state compliant, vs. 49-state compliant. Seen this emerge from my own research on the topic before. Info direct from the DMV. (http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/brochures/fast_facts/ffvr29.htm) |
