I'm looking into picking up a bike from (registered in) Seattle, only issue is it has an aftermarket slip-on exhuast on it which probably wouldn't pass emissions.....anyone know if it will have to have an emissions test if I buy it and bring it to CA? Would it be exempt because it's a new, low mile 2006 model?
-would the aftermarket slip-ons pass the visual as well?
Got this off of the CA dmv site.....still kinda unclear.
The following is required to register a nonresident vehicle:
- An Application for Title or Registration (REG 343) signed by all registered owners, showing the name and address of the lienholder (legal owner), if any.
- Last issued out-of-state title, unless held by the lienholder/legal owner.
- Last issued registration certificate, if the applicant is the same as the registered owner shown on the out-of-state title and the vehicle entered California with valid out-of-state registration, or if the title has been lost.
- A Bill of Sale, Vehicle/ Vessel Transfer and Reassignment Form (REG 262), if you purchased the vehicle from someone other than the registered owner shown on the title.
- Odometer disclosure statement on the REG 262, signed by the seller and buyer, if the vehicle is less than ten model years old.
- A vehicle verification. The vehicle must be inspected by an authorized DMV employee, law enforcement officer, or a licensed vehicle verifier employed by a registration service or dealership. These inspections require no additional fee and are most easily obtained by bringing the vehicle to the nearest DMV.
- Smog Certification, if applicable.
- Surrender the valid out-of-state license plates if they do not have to be returned to the home state.
- Appropriate fees and any use tax due.
