Do I need to register a brand new motorcycle for track use only?

Question

I plan on buying a brand new GSXR 750 for track use only at the dealership, would I need to register with the dmv? I dont want to pay registration and title for a bike that will never see the public streets. Thought I'd ask here before I ask the dealer...this bike will race in California by the way.

Answer 1

No you don't have to register it. You will save sales tax unless the dealer adds it to the price. But unless you register it you won't get a title in your name. Not a problem for a track bike, the bill of sale will be your proof of ownership.

Answer 2

You will not need to registrar the bike with the DMV but you will have to title it and fill out a registration waiver, this will have you state that you will not be running the bike on the road for the next 6 months.

Answer 3

I dont know US laws. Sorry. It the UK its just one form to film in, or a few clicks online.

Ive heard from others on here them DMV are a bunch of ball breakers.
