Wrong you need insurance anywhere but your own property or a track.

Your not going to be asked for insurance on your buddy'e farm.
 
If you get a bike with ownership, just get insurance.. It's like $115 for my klx for a year, even if your at your buddies house and don't need insurance, it's still cheap enough to get insurance.
I'm sure we have all had friends/buddies that were cool until something went wrong and then there not so friendly..
Less then $150 = peace of mind.


Just getting back to the original post/question, you wanna ride trails you'll need ownership, insurance and a trail pass.
 
Don't buy a bike without ownership. Who knows if it's been stolen. Plus there are hundreds of bikes for sale with ownership. Unless its a screaming once in a lifetime deal why go through the hassle.
 
MX bikes dont usually come with an ownership.

Good for them. If I bought one from a dealership and they didn't give me one, they wouldn't be selling it to me. There's no reason not to have an ownership.

I get what you're saying, but just because they "usually don't" doesn't mean they shouldn't.

You will when if you cause damage enough to warrant your buddy suing you.

It's pretty simple, you don't NEED insurance on YOUR OWN PROPERTY because it's YOUR OWN PROPERTY YOU WILL DAMAGE right? I don't see what's so hard to understand.

Motocross bikes are manufactured for closed course use only and do not come with ownership, there is no need for them to have one.

Did you request they give you one?
No ownership came with my mx bike I purchased, even from the dealer.

Perhaps you may want to get a UVIP to see if you are the legal owner of it.

There's no need? Some people may like to take them on some single track for example. To do that legally you have to have a plate and insurance. Good luck getting a plate without an ownership.

Along with one for my tv and lawn tractor?

Machine racing will sell you a brand new CRF450R with a bill of sale only. No ownership.
Those bikes are not designed to be ridden anywhere that requires a plate or ownership, or insurance. You DO NOT need an ownership to legally buy or sell one.

You would be then converting it into a trail bike. Single track is not an mx bikes intended purpose.

There are 10 dirbikes in my garage.
None of this is news to me.
 
Ok 01Cbr. You win. I give up. You're right, I'm wrong. It's too complicated for you to understand.
