I have to agree with what's been said. Buy the bike. Get key and paperwork. Arrange with seller to pick up next day. Go to DMV and get everything done the next morning.

Get someone to take you to get the bike. Arrive and install tag. Take off for home.

And, over $200 per year for minimal bike insurance...Yikes!!!
I pay $50 per year. I was the first person in my county to pass the DMV road test on a chopper. But, I've had my license for 38 years now (there was no such thing as a course back then) and no accidents. My son has his permit now and will be taking the MSF course. He won't have to take the DMV test if he passes the MSF course. He'll get an insurance discount. He'll pay more attention to someone else teaching him in a class environment than he will me.

Take the course when you can. You'll be glad you did.
