The website does collect a lot of information in an easy-to-use format. However, stuff changes and one source of information doesn't necessarily agree with another. It would be helpful if the state by state listings included phone numbers and web addresses for the various states.
In US motorcycles are not subject to emissions and the information above is from Arizona DMV (department of motor vehicles), the very authority which is in charge of titling and tagging vehicles in Arizona.

I had gotten AZ tag in September and I don't have Arizona driver license so I can personally confirm that AZ license isn't necessary.

Ah, yes, you're right; I'd forgotten about that. Thanks for the correction.

And the information says that you need an Arizona license to register a vehicle. It says "A valid Arizona driver license is required to register a vehicle in Arizona." Which you promptly contradict by reporting your own experience below. That was my point: you can't necessarily believe what you hear or read, because things change and experiences on the ground differ.

I don't know which source of information you're sighting but you definitely DON'T NEED AZ driver license to register bike in Arizona. This is from Arizona hotline clerk and from my own experience.

I really don't want to go around and around on this forever. I was citing the link given by the OP. I have no doubt that you're correct...which means the link is incorrect, which was my point.

The link says clearly and unequivocally that you need an Arizona drivers license to register a vehicle in Arizona. You say otherwise. I believe that you're correct. The lesson is: don't believe everything you read, see, or hear--including if you hear it from an internet source or, for example, me. Look for confirming or contrary information. Have a backup plan.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
