Speedy Gonzales Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 In Ohio, do you go to the BMW to get your plates for a new motorbike or does the dealer order them when you purchase and put them on when he gets them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFlash Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Dealer puts a Temporary Tag on for you.You have 30 days to register at the BMV ( )where you get your regular tags. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 The BMV is a blanket term people use to describe multiple offices. The title bureau, registrar, license agency, and a few other offices are all "BMV" entities to some degree. Licensing and plates are typically done together. I have to go register my bike, and also get new plates and stickers for my car before May 11...Wish I had done it yesterday. I could have been riding today. The bike is "legal enough" at this point.

OH650R Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 When I bought my Ninja this March, the dealer didn't give me a temp tag. Although, they were aware I was trying to sell my other bike and (I guess?) assumed I would just transfer the plate. Well I tried that and BMV said "since you still currently own the other bike and haven't sold yet, we can't transfer". So, I had to purchase a temp tag. It kinda pissed me off! As I was walking away from the counter, the employee said "psssttt, when you come back just say you sold the other bike (whether you did or not) and they'll transfer the plate". I did just that and worked like a charm! Still salty I had to buy my own damn temp tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDuty Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Every dealer I have ever dealt with has taken care of the plates for me They would call when they came in and even put them on when I went to pick them up. They are selling you a bike it should always be part of their customer service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
