Motorcycle registration renewal requirements for 2017 are here, and riders are gearing up for another exciting season on the roads. With the new year brings a number of changes that all motorcycle owners should be aware of before heading out for a ride.
For starters, all motorcycles must be registered with the local DMV office in order to legally operate them on public roads. This is true regardless of whether the bike is street legal or off-road only. To register your motorcycle, you must have proof of ownership and a valid safety inspection certificate. You'll also need to purchase the appropriate registration sticker, which will include the current year and state seal.
Once registered, the regulations vary slightly depending on the state. Generally speaking, motorcycle registration must be renewed on a regular basis. This usually happens on an annual basis, but it can be different in certain states. Additionally, some states may require proof of insurance as well as a valid driver's license when renewing your registration. It's important to stay up to date on all applicable laws and regulations in order to remain compliant and continue riding legally.
