Oh, that is a pretty bike.

So, never being registered in the USA, being imported from France, will one be able to get it licensed and ride it on public roads?

"The Lodola was imported from France originally and has never been registered in the US, hence is to be sold on a Bill of Sale (no Title)."

What a beauty! If I had the scratch, I'd buy it and just switch plates with my other bike when I wanted to ride...

No asking price? Bet it's top speed is 60 mph. What happens if you ever need any parts for it? It is nice looking tho.

Price is right there in the subject line - $5500. I would expect it'll do ~ 80 mph. Parts are available, you just have to do some work to find them.

It would be very difficult to restore one for the selling price. It's a beauty and it won't depreciate.

Worth every penny.

I'd be very wary of the craigslist add.

No title? No problem at that age.

The last bike designed by Mr. Guzzi-I'd like one.

Getting a title in CA might be a PROBLEM. Switching plates could lead to other problems, depending on where & if you get stopped. Like the vehicle getting confiscated till proof of ownership is established and/or fraudulent use of a license plate/registration plus towing and storage fees. Vehicle release is only if registered and insured to meet jurisdictional requirements. "Yeah, how can I have it inspected if I don't have the bike?" "Not my problem." Just something to consider before switching plates.

I'd check on being from another state/country and bringing into AZ or CA. One of the things that needed to be done was a paper trail. Out of country was a bigger hassle and yes a title was needed if the the previous jurisdiction issued them. So if UK issued a title for ownership in 1966. Guess what you'll need??? OR you could buy it and gamble.

Or just register it in VT and be done with it.

Tom · « **Reply #13 on:** August 17, 2016, 08:57:57 PM »

Depends on where you live. A Vermont bike plate would draw the attention of the PD in AZ.

Antietam Classic Cycle · « **Reply #14 on:** August 17, 2016, 09:30:04 PM »

So, the buyer can use the VT registration to get a title and register it in their state. MD recognizes the registration from a non-title state as valid proof of ownership and will issue a title. I don't know how many other states do the same, but quite a few apparently.

Tom · « **Reply #15 on:** August 17, 2016, 09:32:56 PM »

A buyer of this bike would need to check out their state's requirements.

I'e gotten non-titled '66 vintage bikes titled in Massachusetts with a little mail-work. Pretty sure everybody would accept that.

Museum stuff.

California, Arizona and Hawaii wouldn't. No title or MSO. No title from those states. Hawaii would also require shipping documents on how the vehicle came into the state. In other words, age is not a general factor for getting around the system. There are exceptions to the rule and often times that would involve an official manipulating the system for the owner. Which could be overturned if the titling/registration requirements are scrutinized.
