Hi all I bought an older. I’m that needs some work. It does run but can’t safety it until a few repairs.

I need to Move the vehicle. If I get a “move” permit from the ministry should i place insurance in it. Or wait till after certified. I can’t remember is I can Insure without a plate.

Also being a 94 should I take out collision on it as well in insurance.

I purchased a 94 Honda magna 750

Thanks
 
You need insurance to get a temporary permit.

Full coverage is a subjective decision, if you can afford to do your own repairs or replace it out of pocket then just take 1 way.
 
Rent a trailer or have one of the MC delivery services (or CAA if you have it) move it for you.
 
What repairs? I like the trailer idea. I'm not sure riding a 25 year old bike that has needs to meet a safety inspection is the best idea unless you yourself can assess the mechanical condition of the bike but if you could you would probably be fixing it yourself.
 
It needs fork seal and a mirror as it was stolen. It was ridden last year and stored. Bike started up on first try cold.

Need a little tlc in aesthetics.

Breaks are good clutch is good. Etc

The level of insurance would really be dependent on the value of the bike. My first bike was $500 and I did the bare minimum insurance as the deductible was worth more then the bike. If your deductible is more then your bike or equal then it does not make a lot of sense.
 
Thanks. I spoke to insurance and I was given the choice based on the age. Currently I I have it with collision. I will ask how much without it. I increased my benefits also
 
As mentioned, if the ownership still lists it as "FIT" you can get a temp. If it's changed hands uncertified it'll show as "UNFIT" and it's not eligible for such anymore, so you'll have to trailer/tow it.

As for insurance, that bike is going to have negligible value so far as insurance is concerned - even a tip over in a parking lot is going to be considered a write off and they're going to give you a token value for it. Unless it's very cheap to go from liability only to full coverage, it's almost certainly not worth it.

The vehicle is listed at “fit” on the ownership. I have a copy of it. I spoke to my insurance and will get a quote for both. I looked at the collision aspect as to “if i hit someone”. I will see the difference without it. I have always had it on a vehicle.

If it’s a small difference I may as well keep it on. A big difference I could just take it and bank it for future replacement.

If the bike is currently registered as 'fit', i.e. to the previous owner, then you can get a new plate with a T sticker. I think it's 10 days to drive around, ostensibly for the purposes of a safety certification. As noted above, bike needs to be insured. When you go back in with the safety cert, they'll reprint the registration ('fit') and give you a normal sticker. Fees apply of course.

The temp sticker is $15. https://www.ontario.ca/page/temporary-licence-plate-sticker

It’s listed as fit on the ownership.
 
The only benefit of having collision (which usually includes a clause that omits it from covering a simple upset) is that if somebody else hits you and it is completely their fault, you will be dealing with your insurance company instead of the other guys insurance company.
Personally I have never had collision coverage on any motorcycle, this is speaking from first hand experience, I had to deal with the other guys insurance people when I got rear ended. I was required to report the accident to my insurance people, at which point they did nothing.

Never owned a bike with a loan against it, so near minimal insurance coverage is all I have ever had or needed.
 
94 Honda magna 750 is not the easiest motorcycle in the world to work on :/
The ownership says fit but if you just bought it, you will need to have it repaired certified and insure it before you can plate it. Until then it is limited to travel on a trailer or in the back of a truck, in Ontario only ... you can't even open trailer it legally through Quebec without a plate.
 
Replace the 4 slide bushings as well as the 2 seals in the front forks, parts will cost about 80$.
... is easy enough to do it's just very messy, takes about half a day to do if you work as slow as I do.
 
Suit yourself, but if all else fails bring it here I will teach you how to do it for free.
Mechanically inclined is just a learned state of mind.
 
Thank you. I am way out of my zone with such an older bike. I have potential transport as I guy in my building has a flatbed tow as he is contracted to caa. Told me when ready leave a note on his truck.
