OR motorcycle dealer bond ($2,000).
Legacy amount — confirm first.

This is the older $2,000 figure for an Oregon motorcycle, moped, snowmobile, and Class I ATV dealer bond. Be aware: the current ORS 822.030 amount is $10,000, not $2,000 — Oregon raised it. Only use this page if the DMV has specifically confirmed a $2,000 bond for your situation; otherwise use the $10,000 page. We price it at $275, with one soft credit pull.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

Why this page says "confirm the amount"

Oregon licenses powersports dealers — those selling exclusively motorcycles, mopeds, snowmobiles, and Class I ATVs — through the DMV under ORS 822.030, with a reduced dealer bond. For years that reduced amount was $2,000, the figure this page reflects.

Oregon has since raised it to $10,000. Current sources and the present text of ORS 822.030 set the powersports-only dealer bond at $10,000. We're being upfront: if you file a $2,000 bond when the DMV expects $10,000, your certificate will be held up.

We left this $2,000 version available because some legacy filings and older paperwork still reference it — but for almost every dealer today, the right bond is the $10,000 powersports dealer bond. Use this page only if the DMV has explicitly confirmed $2,000 for you. When in doubt, send us your DMV instructions and we'll point you to the correct amount.

ORS 822.030 (amount increased to $10,000)ORS 822.030 governs the Oregon vehicle-dealer bond. The reduced bond for a dealer holding a certificate exclusively in motorcycles, mopeds, Class I all-terrain vehicles, or snowmobiles is currently $10,000. A $2,000 figure was the former amount before the statute was amended — confirm with the DMV which amount your certificate requires before filing this legacy version.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

Is the Oregon powersports dealer bond $2,000 or $10,000? +
It is $10,000 under the current ORS 822.030. The $2,000 figure on this page is the former amount, kept available for legacy filings. Most dealers today should use the $10,000 bond — confirm with the DMV before filing $2,000.
Why does this page still exist if the amount changed? +
Some older paperwork and continued legacy bonds still reference $2,000, so we kept a version that matches. But we flag it clearly: for almost everyone, the correct current bond is $10,000.
How much would the $2,000 bond cost? +
$275. Three percent of $2,000 is $60, which is below our $275 minimum, so the premium is $275. The price is not the issue here — the amount is. Make sure the DMV accepts $2,000 first.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price; the rate is a flat 3% either way.
How do I know which amount I need? +
Check the bond amount the DMV states on your dealer-certificate instructions, or send them to us. If it says $10,000, use the $10,000 motorcycle / ATV dealer page. Only use this page if $2,000 is explicitly confirmed.
