Oregon Motorcycle Requirements
Oregon does not strictly require a separate motorcycle bill of sale to title, but one is strongly recommended as proof of the sale. Notarization is not required for a Oregon motorcycle bill of sale. Oregon publishes an official form (Vehicle Bill of Sale (Form 735-501)).
Federal law (49 CFR Part 580) requires a written odometer disclosure on transfer except for vehicles transferred 20+ years after their model year (the 10-year rule changed to 20 years effective Jan 1, 2021). Oregon (OAR 735-028) mirrors this: an odometer disclosure is required for vehicles model year 2011 or newer that are under 20 years old; vehicles model year 2010 and older, MY2011+ vehicles 20+ years old, non-self-propelled vehicles, vehicles without an odometer, snowmobiles/ATVs, and vehicles with GVWR over 16,000 lbs are exempt. The threshold rolls forward each year.
