Kansas Motorcycle Requirements
Kansas does not strictly require a separate motorcycle bill of sale to title, but one is strongly recommended as proof of the sale. Notarization is recommended but not required for a Kansas motorcycle bill of sale. Kansas publishes an official form (Form TR-312 (Bill of Sale)).
Federal law (Truth in Mileage Act, 49 CFR Part 580) requires the seller to disclose the odometer reading at transfer for vehicles transferred fewer than 20 years after their model year (the exemption period was raised from 10 to 20 years by a 2019 NHTSA rule, effective for 2011-and-newer model years). For newer vehicles this disclosure is captured in the odometer space on the assigned Certificate of Title rather than on a separate Kansas form. Kansas's TR-312 Bill of Sale does not contain an odometer field, so the odometer disclosure is made via the title assignment. (Vehicles transferred 20+ years after their model year are exempt from the federal disclosure requirement.)
