Gonna get a dirtbike from a guy up n[mlp]orth. What do I need to know? Are dirtbikes titled? I dont think they have to be registered with the dmv, just the annual sticker. Are they transferrable from owner to owner?

How the F did the pink pony get in my post?

You can title a db but it's not too common. It's a simple cash exchange for the most part. I'd get a BOS just to have a receipt but other than that you should be gtg. You don't need a sticker until you hit the trails and then you need a spark aresstor on your muffler. Have fun and be safe, you can break your arms on those things [Coffee]

I have a pretty good bill of sale designed to protect both the buyer and the seller. PM me and I can email you a copy.

YZ 450F 2009, the year before they went to fuel injection. Heard the motor is pretty reliable and strong. Don't wanna race, just ride trails and a few track days.

Definitely get a BOS. Saved my brother a theft charge.

Yeap, just get a BOS, and before taking it on trails, get an OHV sticker.

A lot of people title and plate dirtbikes in CO, but it's not necessary for trail/track only use. I have mine plated for use in hopping from one trail or trail system to another. Also makes a quick spin up town for something kinda handy too.

That is a good sized dirt bike! Take care and make sure you don't need to sell it to cover your hospital bills!

Colorado has started titling OHVs. I don't know much (anything, really) about the new procedures; a little Googling may be worth your while.
