Hi all, I'm new to motorcycles so I wanted to see if anyone had some recommendations.

First of all, this would really be directed to the California people, as DMV registration can vary from state to state.

If I have buy a frame of a motorcycle, I assume that would be the registered component due to the VIN numbers or other ID marking. Would a frame have to come with a title and then do the DMV transfer?

Basically, if I buy a frame and a donor bike that the previous owner has no paperwork for, can I legit resister it? Thanks for your help!

Anyone?

It varies from state to state, but no title is a nightmare in many places. Washington takes an inspection from the state patrol and 3 years of registration in you name before getting a title. Oklahoma has title 42 which takes about 2 months. But in general, buy something with a title. In some states it is next to impossible to get a transfer and a title if it doesn't come with it.

check the numbers first with local police, then if it comes back clear, you can put in a title lien

Or just let me know and if you aren't afraid of bending the law, you can get a title for any bike, anytime.
