De-regisistering a motorbike

jojo76, Apr 22, 8:27pm
We are picking up a road registered bike today, but we are using it on farm. So is it best to get the seller to de-register it or do the change of ownership then we do it?
Thanks

Why deregister it at all? You can do Change of registered owner then put the rego on hold for 12 months at a time.
if you do decide to deregister it I'd do it myself to ensure it has been done

Hey Jojo Kaz is right, do it yourself. Just remember when and if you decide to sell it in the future it will be worth a decent amount more with a rego than without. My advise is pop it on hold - its free :)

That rego could come in handy if you find a tidy dereg bike of the same model.

No one would ever do that - it is not legal to swap plates.

Don't have to act illegally.

Just 'reframe' or 're-engine' the one that is on-hold.

Put in on 'farm reg', so you can still use it up to 30km from farm.
$30 a year?

not to mention that if the current owner de registers the bike before you buy it you cannot change the ownership on a deregistered vehicle as it is no longer " live "
