That's good news - the ease of purchase and registration in Washington state - but remember that getting a license plate is only half the battle.
The other half of the problem is getting insurance. This might be difficult to do if you don't have a driver license in the USA.
Be sure to carry out your due diligence concerning obtaining insurance before you pull the trigger and buy the bike. Keep in mind that in the USA, insurance regulations vary from state to state - some states might insure the vehicle for all riders, others might only insure named riders.
Some states may permit operation of an uninsured vehicle, others may not (for example, all across Canada, it is forbidden to operate a motor vehicle without insurance, and the penalties for doing so are very severe).
