Can a motorcycle be transferred without annual inspection?

Motorcycles cannot be transferred without annual inspection. Introduction to vehicle transfer: Vehicle transfer refers to changing the name of the vehicle owner. When buying a used car, besides checking the condition of the car, the most important step is completing the transfer procedures. Principle of vehicle transfer: Every vehicle has a fixed registration, which mainly records the owner's information, address, and some relevant vehicle parameters. Insurance transfer is required: After the vehicle transfer is completed at the vehicle management office, the new owner should bring the transfer certificate, a copy of the vehicle license, the original insurance policy, their ID card, and the original insurer's ID card to the original insurance company to fill out a transfer application form, and then the transfer procedure can be completed.
When I wanted to transfer ownership of my old motorcycle, I encountered an issue with the failed annual inspection. The vehicle management office required me to first renew the inspection and possibly pay fines before proceeding. This stems from legal requirements that vehicles must be safe and legal, and failing the inspection means the vehicle's status is invalid. I remember delaying for a few months, and the fines increased, which was not worth it. So, I developed a habit of renewing the inspection as soon as it was due, making the transfer process smooth and cost-effective. For everyone, compliance is a wise choice.
