What Is a Motorcycle Bill of Sale?
A U.S. motorcycle bill of sale is a legal document that records the transfer of ownership when a motorcycle, scooter, ATV, or dirt bike is sold in a private transaction. It identifies both the seller and buyer, describes the vehicle in detail, and confirms the agreed-upon sale price and payment method. This American document serves as proof that the transaction took place and protects both parties in the event of a future dispute.
Most U.S. state DMVs require a bill of sale to process a title transfer for a privately sold motorcycle. The American document typically accompanies the signed certificate of title when the buyer registers the vehicle in their name. Without a bill of sale, the buyer may face delays or be unable to complete the registration process, and the seller may remain liable for the vehicle on record.
Beyond the U.S. DMV requirements, a motorcycle bill of sale is valuable because it includes the federal odometer disclosure mandated by American law, documents the condition and warranty status of the vehicle, and records whether the title is clear, liened, salvage, or rebuilt. Having these details in writing prevents misunderstandings about what was agreed upon and provides legal evidence if either party needs to enforce the terms of the sale.

- 1
Enter Seller and Buyer Information
Provide the full legal names, mailing addresses, phone numbers or email addresses, and driver's license numbers for both the seller and buyer. Accurate identification details are essential for a valid transfer of ownership and help the DMV process the title change.
- 2
Describe the Motorcycle or Vehicle
Select the vehicle type (motorcycle, scooter, ATV, or dirt bike) and enter the year, make, model, color, VIN, engine number, engine displacement, license plate number, and current odometer reading. The 17-character VIN is the most important identifier for title transfer purposes.
- 3
Set the Sale Terms
Enter the agreed-upon sale price, select the date of sale, choose the payment method (cash, personal check, cashier's check, or bank transfer), and pick the governing state. The sale price is what both parties agree the motorcycle is worth and will appear on the title application.
- 4
Disclose Title and Condition Details
Select the title status (clear, lien to be released, salvage, or rebuilt), complete the federal odometer disclosure certification, and choose whether the motorcycle is sold as-is with no warranty or with a limited warranty. These disclosures are required by federal and state law for most vehicle sales.

Legal Considerations for Motorcycle Sales in the US
Selling or buying a motorcycle through a private sale involves several legal requirements that vary by state. Understanding these requirements before completing the transaction helps both parties avoid problems with registration, title transfer, and liability.
This template is provided for informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. Motorcycle title transfer requirements vary by state. Check your local DMV for specific requirements in your jurisdiction.
Reviewed by legal professionals. The content on this page and the template clauses have been reviewed by licensed attorneys in the United States to ensure accuracy and legal soundness for standard motorcycle bill of sale transactions.
Title Transfer at the DMV
After the U.S. sale, the buyer must take the signed bill of sale and the endorsed certificate of title to their local American DMV to register the motorcycle in their name. Most states have a deadline for completing this transfer, typically between 10 and 30 days after the sale date. Missing this deadline can result in late fees or penalties. The seller should also notify their state DMV that the vehicle has been sold to avoid liability for any incidents involving the motorcycle after the sale.
Federal Odometer Disclosure
Federal law (49 U.S.C. 32705) requires the seller to disclose the motorcycle's odometer reading and certify whether the reading is accurate, has exceeded the mechanical limit, or is not the actual mileage. This requirement applies to most vehicles under 20 years old. Providing a false odometer statement is a federal offense. The Doxuno template includes this certification as a standard clause in the bill of sale.
As-Is Sales and Warranty Disclaimers
Most private motorcycle sales are conducted on an as-is basis, meaning the seller makes no warranties about the vehicle's condition. The buyer accepts full responsibility for any repairs or issues discovered after the purchase. If the seller does offer a limited warranty, the specific terms should be clearly stated in the bill of sale. Regardless of warranty status, both parties benefit from having the buyer inspect the motorcycle (or have it inspected by a qualified mechanic) before completing the transaction.
