As the tile states I’m in the market for a second hand two stroke dirt bike. I found one I like imported from Japan. It doesn’t have a title is that really a problem as I won’t be using it on the road at all?
Any info is appreciated

I have a YZ250F imported from Japan. It has an import cert but it’ll never be road legal as no lights and no battery for that matter.
But no, it won’t cause you a problem. I ride mine from home to the mountains with all the gear on and to fill the gas.
I’m open to selling it btw. It’s not got the same power as the 2T option but it weighs the same.

Don't buy. Plenty of Jap imports fully legal for sale.Quote:

Having said that, if you only intend to use it on local property and not trailer it you should be ok.
Was kind of my thought Norts. Who is to say that the seller could be setting up the buyer. Buy it then claim it stolen.Quote:

You only need a tax invoice to import a non street legal bike.
You can’t get a green book for it and it’s not required.
What model are you looking at?
I defer to your knowlege DD.Quote:

Thanks for all the replies. I will inquire further tomorrow about what paperwork he has. Thanks for the offer DD but I’m set on a two stroke. I’m looking for a late model yz125x I’m only 150 pounds and it will be fun to rip around the farm or hit the mountains. There are other bikes for sale but this one is super clean and a 2018.
Good luck bro. Enjoy.
for a 2018 model I would say it must have the invoice from when it was imported.Quote:

You’ll have plenty fun on that. It’s 5kg lighter than mine and the good news is that I believe it has a feeder tank for the 2T oil so you just need to keep your fuel and oil tanks topped up and not need to worry about mixing.Quote:

I’d be amazed if it doesn’t have a tax document for a 4 year old import.
Send me a pm if you’d like to see my tax invoice for reference.
