Pennsylvania motorcycle requirements
Pennsylvania does not require a separate bill of sale to title a vehicle and PennDOT publishes no official bill-of-sale form; however, Pennsylvania is unusual in that the seller's signature on the title assignment itself must be notarized (or verified) — a stand-alone bill of sale is optional and not required to be notarized.

Pennsylvania Motorcycle Requirements
Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania motorcycle bill of sale.
Federal law (49 CFR Part 580) requires a written odometer disclosure on transfer for vehicles under 20 model years old; the 2021 NHTSA rule extended the retention/disclosure period from 10 to 20 model years. In Pennsylvania this disclosure is made directly on the Pennsylvania certificate of title — PennDOT states the seller must indicate the vehicle's mileage in the spaces provided on the ownership document. No separate state odometer form is generally required for titled vehicles.
