Registration of CBF 1000 and Varadero 1000 XLV in Virginia

#1 Unread post by peterlaser »

Hi Everyone,
we have just arrived in Virginia and we intend to ship our Bikes from Germany into US. However, just noticed these Models are not sold in the US !
Has anybody ever had the experience of going through the process of registering one of these bikes in Virginia ?
Thanks a lot for helping !
Ride safe
Ute & Peter

Hello and welcome to the forum and USA. If you make it to Kansas City, I can hook you up with some good BBQ. I think those bikes haven't passed EPA tests. You might be able to get temporary tags, you may have better luck trying to use your own tag.

Hi and welcome! :wave:

Congratulations on the big move, I hope you like it out west. I've visited Germany a couple of times and have really liked it, can't wait to back really!

Good luck with the importing of the bikes. :mrgreen:

Hi Andrea,
thanks for the welcome. Where in Germany ? If you want to do good biking try the black forest area. And you can just hop over into the alpes. the long and winding road ... ! Fun unlimited.
I let all of you know when the bikes are rolling. We will most certainly take them to as many destinations as possible in US !
Ride safe and ticketless !
Cheers
Peter :kicking:

Yeah, Virginia may not have an EPA, but the federal government does and any motorcycles manufactured after (I think) 1974 has to meet federal guidelines.

I checked with DMV in Virginia and they were stressing that motorcycles are exempted from EPA testing. Wish us luck ! :starwars:
