Hi all, want to buy a bike for family members, possible to buy under my name without b2 license? Thanks..

yes. license not required to own a motorcycle

Yes can.

Wait...if you buy a bike, you need it to be registered & roadtaxed.

If you need it to be roadtaxed, you need it to be insured.

If you need it to be insured, don't you need a license?

Interesting question. Can you buy it but register under someone else's name?

Dayum.. that means i need to go get the license ka

as far as i know its possible.... but at the end of the day, best to ask the shops themselves.

yes.. you even can buy car without driving license..

you can say that.. keep at home as decoration..

insured for the bike.. not human..

Owning a bike got NOTHING to do with having a riding license (B2 or B Full). Simple.

But to ride it legally, then you'll need a valid license.

Errr.... no point insuring a bike that has no human riding it, right?

If I'm not mistaken, all insurance policies require an owner/rider to be designated. And that person must be qualified to ride. Then you can add an all-rider clause (and pay through your nose).

That's as far as I understand lah.

But if anyone has experience otherwise, I'm keen to know.

But won't the owner have to buy insurance for it? Can an owner insure a motor vehicle he cannot operate?

Insurance policy need a name.. it just a name for the insurance purpose.. if anything happen the money goes to the owner.. it has nothing to do either got license or not..

other people also can drive the bike and accident.. and claim will be goes back to the owner not the accident person.. as the insurance is cover for the bike not the driver...

yes.. for example.. most of dato dont have driving license.. Car under dato.. but the one drive is driver..

if accident do you think it claim under driver or owner for the insurance coverage?

Insurance for protection. As for bike, can take all riders policy. Anybody with a valid license can ride it. Sure the owner can claim (total lost, etc) provided that the rider is licensed.

Of course the owner can insure the motor. Did that to my kapchai before. Registered under my wife's name (no riding license). All good.

yes... u can buy without motor license but only cash i think.... if loan from shop or any credit company u need license... cause they know are u are riding it then easy to find the bike if you did not pay. I ask Boon Hua motor puchong before... No license no loan only cash is acceptable

Yup. Not many bike shop willing to give loan if the buyer had no riding license.

Cash is King
