| Whats the situation these days with unregistered motocycles in Korea? I gather that there are random stops in cities but I'm assuming less so in rural areas. |

| Don't support the hot bike market. And if you don't have insurance, you will have a lot of money to pay in the case of an accident. |

I don't know if I'd call this random, but South Korea has gone to a QR code system for vehicle registration and inspection. Once you get your vehicle inspected/registered now, you must post a QR code sticker on the vehicle so it's easily visible to a police officer. The police officer merely passes a reader over the sticker as he's walking down a line of cars and the registration information comes up. No sticker, no registration information obviously. |

Since when? I just registered my motorcycle in April and didn't get one. Or is this only cars?
But yeah, no papers, don't mess with it. I had one I got from a guy with no papers (he was leaving, I just got it). Went to the gu office and talked with them, showed them the serial number and they said "sorry, nothing we can do." I said I just wanted the title to scrap it, and they said "sorry, nothing we can do." So there is a bike outside Suwon that is just rusting away back into the earth from whence it came...
But yeah, as Trip says, don't support the hot bike market. |

Must just be cars, then. It started last year or the year beofre. The car I had was up for re-inspection in November last year. The inspection office gave me two stickers: the QR code sticker to be placed somewhere on the dash so the coppers can see it from outside the car and an odometer reading sticker to be placed as close as possible to the odometer without obstructing any of the dash instruments. |

| I am in a rural location and it's been like this for me. I've had a sub-125cc and my motorcycle-bang guy didn't think there was a need for a plate for a foreigner as long as I rode around the neighbourhood. I now have an over-250cc bike. I had to get insurance, plate, registeration. He didn't say anything about QR sticker. |
