It depends on your state laws. Start with your department of natural resources or vehicle titles services. Or call a local ATV dealer, he should be able to tell you the requirements.
In our state, we have state vehicle titles for ATV's and they are transferred to the buyer. Good Luck on your new purchase.

DEFINATELY get a bill of sale. All it needs to be is a hand written description of the ATV (with VIN #'s) and signed by the seller. There is no excuse for a seller not giving the buyer a BOS, if they can't comply, you'd best just walk away.
It is even better to get a title although the importance of this will vary from state to state. In some areas, no title would indicate a stolen quad, in others, it's OK for a quad to have never been titled. All states do have provisions for titling an ATV, having one in hand makes the transfer of the property that much more legit.
As others have posted, some states require a title to allow you to register to ride on public lands. If you ever plan to travel to states that require permits to ride, you will need to register your quad in your home state to ride out of state.

Wow MT, what an incredible statement! I assume you've never bought a used car or truck. Sales tax means a tax everytime the item is sold. That doesn't matter how often it is sold or how many times it is sold. I sure wish I could go to Walmart and say I don't want to pay the sales tax because you just paid it last week on the items I bought today.
If your state requires title registration, you will probably be required to pay the sales tax to get title in your name. That's what happens in my state. Again, check with your local authorities for your state's rules.
