Motorcycle Review Guide - Great Tips for Selecting the Best Bike

Do not be concerned about not getting a title in Georgia. I think the law states that bikes manufactured prior to 1986 can be registered with a bill of sale. That is all that is required. Make sure you verify that the current registration has the exact VIN number of the bike. The VIN number is stamped into the frame below the triple tree and behind the headlight. Also make sure the bill of sale lists the bike by manufacturer, year, model, and VIN number. I did not verify the current registration with what was on the bike. It slowed the registration process but was not hard to correct.

I have a 1982 KZ1100 A2. I have no regrets about getting a four banger. I thought it was fast until with the help of elr658 I got the valves set correctly. When I twist the handle we are off in a hurry.

Where are you located in GA?

Good luck.
