Certificate of ownership???

Looking to buy a dirt bike but the owner doesn't have the title. He has a certificate of ownership. How hard is to get the title? He told me, all u have to do is present that with the bike to the bmv and get the title. Is it that easy?

Its not that easy always. I went through a big ordeal having a MCO and bills of sales tracing back to the original owner and I could not get a title. If it is a dirt bike being used for a closed course or offroad use only (as brian said) then I would buy it no problem and get a bill of sale. If you are planning on trying to title it and get plates, I would be wary and get things in writing from the BMV beforehand.

How old is the bike? Up until a certain year off-road machines weren't titled. After that (depending on the state it was sold in) the bikes were titled from the dealership. Sounds like you need to dig deeper into this toy before you put cash on the barrelhead.
