CT Registration question

[Big Draggo]

Does anyone know if you can get 1990 motorcycle purchased in RI registered in CT without a title?

If the motorcycle is purchased as used, or previously registered out of state, you will need to present the following documents to your local DMV full service or satellite office to apply for a registration:

The Certificate of Title showing assignment of ownership and indicating release of all liens (if any). A Title is not required on motorcycles manufactured prior to 1981.
Bill of Sale (PDF 193K)
A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) verification is required when registering your out of state motorcycle. Please bring your motorcycle, registration and driver's license to your local Full Service DMV Branch Office, with the exception of the Norwalk Office. The VIN verification will be completed and a report will be given to you to present for registration.
Your current Connecticut Insurance Identification Card, which can be obtained from your insurance company. The insurance card must be in the name of registered owner(s). If the motorcycle is being leased, the insurance card may be in the name of the lessee.
Application for Registration and Certificate of Title (form H-13).
Identification will be required to register a motorcycle. Please see list of Acceptable Forms of Identification.
Note: Motorcycles cannot be registered if delinquent property tax or parking tickets are owed or if the registrant has had their registration privilege suspended.

You will need the sellers most recent registration and a bill of sale.

Hello, I am a Thompson CT resident interested in buying a 1990 motorcycle registered in RI that does not have a title. What does the DMV require me to have to buy the vehicle and register it in Connecticut?

Thank you,

Why doesn't the seller get a duplicate title for you from the DMV in RI?

Because it's not really necessary. Ct will generate a title after he registers it.
