Calif dmv

[Kento-Moto]

As I understand it, any vehicle pruchased outside of calif can not be registered here until odometer has at least 7500 miles on it.

I am purchasing a busa from Oregon with only 2800 on it, any idea's?

( Of course I am gonn ride the hell out it for the next few months and will rack up %K quickly but any other thoughts? )

Thanx - K

Someone posted about that a while back. I agree you should just ride the crap out of it to get it to 7500 and then go register it. Don't really understand that rule, but I'm sure there's a reason.

Cali is a beautiful place to visit, but with laws like that... I darn sure wouldn't want to live there.

 

[BA BUSA]

Do you know any one in Oregon

why not register it there for now.

 

[BA BUSA]

DMV fees and sales tax must be cheaper in Oregon

 

[jwcfbd]

seeing as Oregon is so close to CA are you sure it is not a CA model? Check the epa sticker. You might get lucky

If its a CA model you can register it new(below 7500miles).
If its not, then you have to ride it until its considered used(7500+ miles), don't tell the DMV and don't get a pulled over.

The law is to keep California residents from purchasing 49 state models(dirty emissions, yeah whatever) in other states. Cali likes its clean air.....
The law doesn't not take in account people who move into the state with a new(below 7500 miles) bike.

"A friend of mine" just rode it until he had 7500+ miles, went to the DMV and told them the bike just entered the state. Worked for him

Or you could do the inversive of the dremel on the speedo cable.

You know how you here about people turnin back their odometer? Well Kent, turn yours up your busa will be a real good buy if you ever sell it.


Kent :
"It says 15,000 but it really only has 7500 miles on it."
Buyer : "huh?"
Kent : Yah, I turned up the odometer."
