Title documentation notes. Dirt bikes are typically classified as off-highway motorcycles (OHV) and titled accordingly in states that issue OHV titles (California, Idaho, Texas, etc.), while other states transfer with bill-of-sale only and require only a green/red OHV decal. Street-legal conversion (dual-sport) requires a separate state inspection plus DOT-approved lighting, mirrors, and tires before retitling as a road-legal motorcycle. Federal odometer disclosure does not apply to off-road-only dirt bikes.
