About the Motorcycle Bill of Sale
A motorcycle bill of sale includes fields specific to two-wheeled vehicles: engine displacement (CC), frame number, engine number (where applicable), and whether the motorcycle is currently titled/registered. Engine displacement matters because many states use it to calculate registration fees, and some states have different rules for mopeds, scooters, and full-size motorcycles.
When to Use This Form
Use a motorcycle bill of sale for all street-legal motorcycles, mopeds, scooters, dirt bikes (if titled in your state), and three-wheelers. Also use it when selling a motorcycle engine or frame separately, noting the component clearly.

Odometer rules cover street motorcycles
Federal odometer rules apply to motor vehicles: vehicles made mainly for public streets, roads and highways (49 U.S.C. 32101). A street motorcycle fits. So a bike from model year 2011 or newer needs a signed mileage statement when it is sold, until 20 years after January 1 of its model year (49 CFR 580.17).
West Virginia's DMV, for example, lists motorcycles among the vehicle classes that must have an odometer disclosure.
Where motorcycles are treated differently (examples we checked)
- Illinois: registration is $41 for a motorcycle against $151 for a car, and the title fee is $165 either way.
- Oklahoma: a motorcycle used only off road pays 4.5% of the price in excise tax, at least $5. A used road vehicle pays $20 on the first $1,500 plus 3.25% of the rest.
- Vermont: the registration application asks motorcycle owners for the cylinders, the number of wheels and the engine power.
What to record for a motorcycle
- The VIN from the frame (usually on the steering head) and from the title, and make sure they match.
- Any engine number that differs from the VIN, and the engine size in cc.
- The odometer reading without tenths, and whether it is the actual mileage.
- Any title brand, such as rebuilt or salvage, and whether the bike is sold as-is.
