Title: buying a bike
Post by: hang man on September 11, 2008, 02:58:07 PM
Does anyone know if it's possible to buy a bike from a dealer without a motorcycle license?

They'll happily sell you anything you can pay for, license or not.    :)

It might be tough in Pennsylvania - you'll have to produce proof of insurance coverage to get it titled and registered, and your insurer might not be so willing without a permit or license.

you shouldn't worry about it because you shouldn't buy a bike from a dealer, especially if you are getting your first bike.  Buy a POS off craigslist or ebay for your first one.

I think it's pretty much all about the money.  I don't believe anything will prevent them from selling it to you. 
Just don't ask for a test ride! 


...oh, and you're LIKELY (not always) paying too much if you buy from a dealer.
