First time Rider and Owner - Page 2

The license plate stays with the previous owner. North America is probably the only place in the world where the plate belongs to the owner and not the bike.

Water Warrior is correct, the plates are registered to the owner, not to the vehicle. Another reason, when getting a bike, to bring or rent a motorcycle trailer to pick it up, since it shouldn't have plates on it when buying a used bike.

Done! Class-M Permanent License, Registration and Plates! Only an hour and a half at the DMV. Not too shabby.

Went home for lunch, rode the bike back to work (only about 6 miles) Got up to 55mph for about a mile. Absolutely thrilling and slighting terrifying at the same time. The sheer amount of wind resistance against my body was more than I was expecting. Got to work safely, am going to wait till evening rush hour traffic dies down a bit before heading home.

Depends on the state. Plates stay with car in CA. With owner in NY.

Thankfully I only live a couple miles from where I work and I can take all local roads. I route-planned and took a different way home than I usually do, but there were 3 less intersections to deal with. Worked out great.
