Bearing in mind the possible consequences of anyone able to track down your address with your license plate, is there any drawback for the owner of a motorcycle to put the vehicle in someone else's name or not putting the vehicle in their name?

the upside is the other person is going to get your camera tickets
the downside is the next time after that you get pulled up you get done for fraud

But you can just say it's not your bike?
I've been stopped in cars and bikes not in my name before. No issue.

It will be an issue if it's flagged in the system as being fraudulently registered.

I see. How does it get fraudulently registered?
black cat
ok, i'll spell this out for you
the 'registered' owner gets a letter telling them it's time to pay license fees and/or your camera fines
they say i have never been the owner of this vehicle... see where i'm going?
besides you have to provide a drivers license to change a vehicles ownership

What are you talking about? That is not possible without stealing the driver license number from someone.
I'm simply talking about a friend who doesn't stay at the real vehicles address. That or not changing the ownership from when the vehicle is bought and leaving it in the old owners name?
I have actually forgotten to change ownership of a motorcycle for nearly an entire year once... had no issue.

well, if yo mamma wants the reponsibility no worries. it also means you don't mind your friend/family members place being broken into instead of yours (the whole point of your thread right?)
you may run into insurance hiccups too, but i know you can't insure your bike/s anyway
when you say consequences are you talking about theft or retribution for your actions (you been pissing off the mob?)? either way not nice for your so called 'friend'
Best Frenemy you could have!
You have to be the registered owner of the vehicle to normally get insurance. Some insurance will be cheaper if its solo rider, ie, just owner.
You can register the vehicle to a different address, I do, and you can now also opt out of having your details accessible to all and sundry. Its not running yet, but will be shortly, and you can already choose the opt out in the online NZTA transaction centre.

All of my posts are of a hypothetical sense.
Many thanks for the info. Going to find that transaction centree now.

False address, mailing address to a PO Box. It's what I've done for the last decade or so.
If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!

My husband has been pulled over on his bike several times and questioned why he is a riding a "woman's" bike. Who is he in relation to the woman that the bike is registered to? They even called me at work. These cops have an issue with it. The bike is in my name as the finance is in my name. This is becoming a regular thing so I am changing the rego into his name.
Don't give the cops the chance to accuse you of stealing the car or bike. If my husband had been a smart-arse, the situation could have turned ugly.

What Max said + having the ownership in yor mums name (thats what mommies are for, lol)...also very handy if you ride while suspended/disqualified....as when a cop runs a rego check while following the vehicle, he doenst get a "red" flag from comms about disqualy owner....
