In California, you can sell up to five motorcycles per year without needing a dealer's license. If you sell more than five motorcycles within a calendar year, you are required to obtain a dealer's license. This regulation helps ensure that individuals who are engaging in the business of selling vehicles meet certain legal and regulatory standards. Always check for any updates or changes to the law, as regulations can evolve.
