I've found a bike out of state that I'm thinking of buying. I live in California. The bike is an 05 with very low miles. What kind of problems and expenses should I expect from dmv? thank you for your help! Just trying to make sure it ends up being a good deal buy the time I'm done.

Re: out of state bike buying? $$$$? (jw112)

Depends wherer it comes from but shipping from michigan ran me $450 or so. DO NOT USE JC MOTORS. They shipped it through North American Van Lines and NAVL dropped a full pallet on the bike at the terminal. NAVL then would not pay up on the insurnace claim. I finally got my own insurance involved (Add the bike to your insurance before it leaves) and got a $3K+ payout. JC Motors washed their hands of the whole thing as soon as they swiped my c.c.. They were of no help when the bike was damaged and in fact didn't even honor the contract that they sold me. They did not cover the bike as promised and broke federal law regarding my bill of lading.

Anyway. The bike is now shipped and you got it. If it's a SBK take the fairing off so dmv can see the engine # and the federal compliance stickers and the VIN. Make an appointment via the interent for registration. They will start the paperwork and then send you outside for the inspection. 5 minutes later you go back in and finish the registration and title change. You will pay sales tax per your County rate based on what you tell the DMV you bought the bike for.

I will be picking it up. There is no minimum mile limit? Out of state transfer fees? etc? just sales tax? and registration?

The min mle deal only applies to non-emission compliant vehicles. ALL late model Ducatis are CA legal. So yes. Just sales tax and registration.

if you were bringing a bike in that had emissions removed - do they actually check that and do emissions testing?

Nope. I took in a S4R with full arrow's and the guy just looked at the compliance sticker and checked off the box.
