What documents must you carry with you, if you want to drive a motorbike with an engine size larger than 200 cm³?

To drive a motorbike with an engine size larger than 200 cm³ in Germany, you are legally required to carry your driving licence and the registration certificate Part I (also called the Motor Vehicle Registration). The driving licence proves you are permitted to operate the bike, while the registration certificate Part I shows the bike is registered and contains important information about the vehicle. The registration certificate Part II (Motor Vehicle Title) is not needed for normal driving; it is only necessary for matters like proof of ownership or transactions at government offices. Carrying the correct documents ensures you comply with police checks and legal requirements on the road.
