Different from my other thread, but hell… it’s another slow day. Working on my coworkers moped got me interested in picking one up on the cheap. I found a really cheap 1980 Honda NC50 Express for less than a cheap bar tab, only catch is it has no paperwork. Has anyone explored legal options for titling an old Bike, or whatever? I am reading up about VT DMV being easy, but haven’t actually tried it yet. If I can title the bike it could potentially add a good chunk of change in value… ---

> [@Onyx\_Z32](#): > > Which state are you trying to register it in? Just to be clear Honestly, doesnt matter. I don’t see myself putting it on the road myself, but having a title raises the value a good bit. Looking for the cheapest/ easiest route to get a transferrable reg/ title. I live in CA and have fam back in NY where i’ve titled other stuff in the past ---

I’m going to do it with the ‘dirt bike’ I just bought. ![image](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/2X/4/4555f42c06cbf11c492730da19ffa85f3fd144da.jpg) ---

Damn dude that thing is clean!!! I love old dirtbikes. Are you mailing in or making the trek from Buffalo? I am very curious to see how it goes for you. Let me know. I bought this, LOL. $200 non running, PO rebuild the carb wrong and it was flooding. Had it running and idling fine no more than 30 minutes from getting home. 350 original miles. ![image](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/2X/3/3411b8e2ae751609027c917a1ea0bc6f5a06f614.jpg) Not the exact picture, but almost exactly identical, down to the front basket. All original. Getting a title increases the value a ton! ---

'81 IT175. It’s definitely a rider, not a looker. Shines up nice though. Electrical tape on the seat, a few rando bolts here and there. I wish the guy hadn’t put the blue handlebars on it. Fresh top end. I need to tinker with the jets or something as it has a slight bog at 3/4+ throttle. You don’t really notice on the trail but on the road you can tell. I guess that red tape on the tank is holding a crack from forming in the tank. and the plastics are all faded and hazed. Oh, and the float doesn’t shut all the way and I keep forgetting to close the petcock that only works on reserve. I ended up making some labels to remind me to turn the gas on and off. lol. ---

I’ve done VT reg about a dozen times. It has gotten a little tougher but still the most viable option and works out pretty swell. def go that route. just need a law enforcement official to sign off on the VT VIN verification form and provide a business card to accompany their signature. 14 days til you receive the plate, more for the transferrable registration. ---

any officer with a business card can fill out and sign the form for you.
