Hey guys I’m about to buy my first ever bike 2008 Suzuki Gsxr 600 with 4,500 mileage at $4,500 on Craigslist. I have never bought an automobile either a car or a motorcycle so i do not know what to expect. Do these trade happen cash vs title or do I need to receive something else along with it to have ownership? I’m a basic noobie and don’t want to hand over 4,500 usd and end up not having ownership due to a mistake. Please let me know thanks :)

In general you will need a Vehicle Title with the transfer section completely filled out and signed. A lien release if there is a lien listed on the title. I think some states require a bill of sale as well, but regardless they are good to have in order to protect both parties.

Probable a good idea to search for your specific states requirements for private sales of vehicles.

This

Also make sure you can test ride it first and switch between gears to make sure nothings wrong. Check tires and brakes also.

Looks like a good deal though

Alright thanks for the help. Where do I get this bill of sale if it’s a person to person trade? I will definitely be taking down the sellers license information as well Incase if bike was stolen or what not
