Certificate of Title/Off-Road Motorcycle
Plain English Summary
This bill allows owners of off-road motorcycles to obtain certificates of title from the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles. Off-road motorcycles are defined as motorcycles designed exclusively for off-road use with no more than two wheels on the ground. Owners can apply for a title by submitting an application with owner information, vehicle description, and lien details.
Arguments in Favor
Supporters argue that certificates of title provide legal proof of ownership for off-road motorcycles, helping owners protect their property and resolve ownership disputes. This brings off-road motorcycles in line with other similar vehicles like all-terrain vehicles and utility vehicles that already have titling options available in North Carolina.
Arguments Against
Opponents may be concerned about the administrative burden and cost of implementing a new titling system for off-road motorcycles. Some may question whether titling is necessary for vehicles used exclusively off-road, or worry about potential complications if off-road vehicles are later used on public roads despite their intended purpose.
