Here if you want to ride it on the streets it has to be tagged and insured, but you can sell one as is and let the buyer know what the deal is. Transferring the title ... 10 or 15 days to get it into the new owner's name and you have to have insurance to transfer it. I've seen a lot of good motorcycles and scooter that fall into the same deal. All kinds of 70s and 80s Japanese bikes were around a few years ago but hadn't been tagged for years, to get them street legal was cost prohibitive. One option here is a black sticker tag, you promise not put it on the street but it keeps the cost of updating the current tag from piling up year after year. There may be options for you. call your DMV and see what they say. At one time we could present a parts bill or mechanic's bill and show it hadn't been on the streets for the down time and they would adjust the fee but that got changed somewhere through the years ... pay to Caesar what is Caesar's.
