Answer 1

This is the United States. The President says there are no "illegal" motorcycles. Only undocumented ones.

Answer 2

transferable title and a bill of sale will suffice when you go to dmv along with an insurance certicate, you should be able to get your registration and plates. A license will help also

Answer 3

Title, registration, proof of insurance. Be careful, wear a helmet.

Answer 4

I don't think you need to carry around your registration on your bike like you do in a car. Just make sure you have your insurance card, your plates and your plate sticker.

Answer 5

Title, Registration, Bill of Sale (usually found on the back of the Title)

You'll also need proof of insurance - call Geico.
