[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1184559, member: 68872"] Essential: Since you live in California you should become familiar with the Green/Red sticker issue. Here is the DMV website: [url]http://www.dmv.ca.gov/vr/ohvredgreen.htm[/url] In a nutshell, California discourages the use of two strokes and some four strokes by limiting the season that they can be riden on public lands. Older bikes are exempt, so if you buy a 2002 or older you are fine. If you are going to buy a newer bike then you have to either limit your choice of bike or limit your choices of where to ride. Red or green it will be a LOT easier if you purchase a bike that has a clear title. You will find a lot of bikes for sale that for one reason or another were never properly registred. If the bike has never been reported as stolen (and that can be a pretty big IF) it is certainly possible to get it registered, but it will take a few trips to DMV and probably one to CHP to get the paperwork straightened out.
