1983 xj900 low milage near mint condition

i'm in the USA and have an old european xj900 that seems will be a huge hassle getting registered here for the states.

any vintage collectors out there willing to make me a reasonable offer?

 

I'll give you $5.

Where are you located? What is the problem getting it registered?

 

in texas and as far as i can find out the shop that use to do houston POE work/certifications is out of business - and that would have been a 10-12 drive.

it's a bike made for europe so wasn't certified for US standards/emissions ect.

 

Bummer, I'm in Cali and it would never pass here. Best luck to you .

 

Unfortunately no title = not much value. Sorry to say but it may just be a parts bike at this point.

 

Where in Texas, and what do you want for it? Thanks...............

 

Ronnie, I've tried PM-ing you a number of times..... I figured you're 'puter must be down again.

Can you pm me?

Thanks,

dave fox

 

I'd be interested if the seller is still around. But price and general location in Texas sure would help...

 

Gee - if you had a head-tube from an '82 XJ with a good title, a grinder, a welder, shot of paint - - THEN you might have something.

(but not if your State requires a visual inspection)

 

You can get a TITLE and Registration in VERMONT with just a NOTARIZED "Comprehensive" Bill of Sale.

There's more than one way to skin a cat.
Buy the Bike.
Get that Bill of Sale filled-out and signed.

You may have to take a day-off and grab the Ferry and come visit with me for a quick ride to the nearest Vermont DMV, ...
This might be worth a shot!
Because!!!
We can go through Vermont!!!

You DO NOT have to be a Vermont resident.
Simply fill out VT DMV forms DMV-VD119 Registration App Instructions and DMV-VD119-Vehicle Reg Tax Title App and send them along with a
::::>> Comprehensive Bill of Sale <<::::
Send the bill of sale and a check to the VT DMV. Both forms can be found here:

dmv.vermont.gov/fees/tax_title

•• You need to fill out the odometer disclosure form in the instruction book. In the Tax/Title Application form you need to fill out blocks 1A, 1B, 2, 3C, 4A, 5B, 6A, and 9.

•• The :::Comprehensive::: bill of sale has to be notarized and contain enough info to identify the bike, like VIN, color, make, model, year etc.
Fill out the paperwork and mail it all in to the VT DMV and 2 weeks later you should have permanent or temp registration and VT plates valid for 1 year in your mailbox.
(Or, ... maybe MY Mailbox) ::hint::

••That's step 1.

••Step 2. Take the Vermont registration and the title/registration application form for the bike to your DMV. When they ask why you don't have a title, just tell them that VT doesn't issue titles on vehicles over 20 years old.

Let em look it up if they want, you'll be fine. After they admit you don't need a title they should process your forms and the VT registration and issue you a title in your area. That completes step 2.

••Step 3. Put new title someplace safe, put your new plate on the bike, go riding.

Costs: Gas, tolls, and all expenses.
