    I'm looking at a 1992 WXC350 to use as a dual sport.
    1. This one has a California plate- did they come street legal as new? I haven't dealt with plated off-road bikes and I know there are issues in CA.
    2. Is there a chance the DMV wouldn't transfer the rego to a new buyer (me)?
    3. Also is the new buyer responsible for back fees? If so, can they get waived?

    If it has a plate you can transfer it to your name. I did this with a plated xr600 and a friend did the same with an xr650r. Just to be safe I transferred the title at AAA, not the DMV. As far as back fees go unless the bike was Non-opp'd you will be stuck paying any back fees. California wants to grab all the money they can from your wallet...

    like RW said do not go to DMV they will pull the plate and hand you a Red or Green Sticker. go to AAA and that older VIN might sneak through it all pivots on the VIN. when i was in so cali i had several plates pulled back and got red/green stickers instead...ugh!
