Selling a street-legal or dual-sport bike with a title? That’s a motorcycle bill of sale — use that form instead.
Five checks before the bike loads up.
- Copy the frame number from the steering head exactly as stamped.
- Record hours if the bike has a meter — and recent top-end or rebuild work in the additional terms.
- Remember: in no-title states this signed page is the ownership record. Keep it safe.
- Note whether the OHV sticker transfers in your state.
- Photograph the bike and the frame stamping — two photos, identity settled.
Not legal advice. off-road registration rules vary by state.
When the bike comes with nothing.
A detailed, signed bill of sale doesn’t just protect this sale — it becomes the provenance the next buyer will ask you for, and the document an OHV registration or insurance claim keys on.
Every state's requirements, plain English.
This form works in all fifty states. What changes is what your DMV wants alongside it — notarization, an odometer statement, a filing deadline. Pick your state for the specifics.
Dirt bike questions, answered.
My dirt bike has no title. Is that normal?
Completely normal. Competition and closed-course bikes are frequently sold new with a manufacturer's statement of origin and never titled by anyone. For those machines the bill of sale is not a fallback document — it is the ownership record, and the only one that will ever exist. Keep it permanently, and photograph the frame number alongside it.
Can I make a dirt bike street legal with only a bill of sale?
That is two separate questions and the answer to the second is usually no. Establishing ownership is what the bill of sale does. Making the bike road legal is a state equipment-and-titling process — lights, mirrors, horn, a VIN inspection, sometimes a state-assigned VIN — and states differ enormously in whether they permit it at all. Check your state before buying a bike specifically to convert it.
Where is the number on a dirt bike?
The frame number is stamped on the steering head; the engine carries its own separate serial number on the case. They are different numbers and both are worth recording, because a bike that has had an engine swap will otherwise look like a mismatch to anyone reviewing the paperwork later.
