OR motorcycle & ATV dealer bonds.
$300 flat. Soft pull.
Oregon’s DMV requires a $10,000 vehicle-dealer bond from a dealer whose certificate is exclusively for motorcycles, mopeds, snowmobiles, and Class I ATVs — the reduced amount under ORS 822.030 (general dealers post $50,000). Ours is $300 flat, 3% of the bond amount, with one soft credit pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Oregon licenses vehicle dealers through the DMV and conditions the certificate on a surety bond under ORS 822.030. The general dealer bond is $50,000 — but a dealer whose certificate is exclusively for motorcycles, mopeds, snowmobiles, and Class I all-terrain vehicles qualifies for the reduced $10,000 amount.
The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee: it backs the dealer conducting business without fraud or fraudulent representation and without violating the Oregon Vehicle Code provisions on titling, transfers, permits, and dealer conduct. A harmed buyer can recover against it.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond runs to the State of Oregon on a form approved by the Attorney General, and the DMV generally requires it for each year the certificate is valid.
