Title: License for new old bike
Post by: locopny on December 27, 2023, 05:11:25 PM
Dad and I picked up a 72 Yamaha Dt360 no title but one family farm bike.
Easy enough to get a registration plate for hills riding in SD?
Like to do this legal or legal-ish. Not concerned about it being stolen or anything

I've done this in ND, but it's been a few years. Should be easy for you:

Last time I registered a 2000ish DRZ400 from Iowa - no problem. I had to have a local shop sign off on it.

We need pictures of the vintage bike,

Photos as soon as I pull it from the trailer it's stored in. Little behind with the Christmas Ice Storm and aftermath

So you've done in ND? I'd try it here but assumed easier in SD. Will look into this thanks

I don't think ND is any more difficult than SD. You hear about SD because ND isn't open to non-residents.

I've done it with a few bikes; back in the day the VIN inspection had to be scheduled with a Trooper (thankfully that isn't a requirement anymore). I should add that the DRZ was an E; so not street legal from the factory. As long as you get your paperwork in line it's a slam dunk.
