How Long Does It Take to License a New Motorcycle?
2 Answers
New motorcycles can be licensed immediately after purchase, with a licensing period of three months. Below is relevant information: Motorcycle: A motorcycle is a two- or three-wheeled vehicle powered by a gasoline engine and steered by handlebars to control the front wheel. It is lightweight, flexible, fast, and widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transportation, as well as a sports equipment. Broadly speaking, motorcycles are divided into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, touring bikes, etc. Power: Horsepower was originally defined by the French and Germans. However, since the horses they used to measure horsepower were smaller than average, an engine with 50 horsepower should not be imagined as being pulled by 50 horses—35 horses would be more appropriate. The unit (ps) for horsepower was first used by the Germans and remains in use today.
I just got my new motorcycle registered last month, and the whole process took a full four days, which felt quite tedious. On the first day, I had to go to the insurance company to buy compulsory insurance, which took about half a day. On the second day, I went to the tax office to pay the vehicle purchase tax and got the receipt. On the third day, I drove to the DMV early in the morning and waited in a terrifyingly long queue—the inspection, photo-taking, and license plate selection took most of the day. It wasn’t until the afternoon of the fourth day that I could pick up the metal plate. The DMV staff said that if all the documents are ready and there aren’t too many people, it might be done in a single day. But since I’m in a big city with a lot of people, it’s slower. They advised preparing the invoice, ID card copy, and insurance policy in advance to save time. Never ride the bike on the road without a license plate—police will fine you if caught, and it’s also prone to accidents, which is too dangerous. When I bought the bike, the salesperson suggested finishing the registration within 15 days and not delaying it too long, as it affects safe riding.
