Vermont will issue a new title, even if your applying from out of State. A friend of mine living in SC did this two years ago with an old 200 Twinstar.
The link below should help you out. Here's a quote from the site ..
"If you purchase a vehicle that does not have a title, it can be a little tricky to get one. Fortunately, there is a legal loop-hole to eventually obtain one:
- Vermont will issue you a registration and license plate regardless of if you live in VT or bought the vehicle in VT. So, this is sufficient to drive around legally in any state.
- Once you have the VT registration, you can then transfer it into your state at an “auto tags” business, and apply for a title / registration in your state.
- The reason this works is because VT only titles vehicles 15 years and newer. So, for an old motorcycle or old car, there would be no VT title at all… so your state will recognize this, and will issue you a new title for your state. It’s a big loop hole, but it works.
- I’ve heard some states (such as NJ) can be a little finicky about transferring VT registrations into their state and applying for a title… but Pennsylvania obviously doesn’t care."
