Guy is trying to trade a dirt bike to me which is worth 3.2k retail value by kbb for my brute force 750 which is worth 5.4k retail value kbb. He says he has a racing contract which can be signed over to the new over which sends them free gear like helmets, handlebars, shirts, etc.. he said he can get a trade in for 6k at a dealership but he doesn't want to add any money in with it so he wants to trade for mine. Can you transfer over a sponsership like that? I want to do it if you can because I can trade it for a new atv I've been wanting..
 
I can only state an opinion from personal experience with sponsors. I know my sons sponsors would be darn mad if he did something like what this person is suggeting and he even got a few words said to him when he was seen racing in the wrong brand gear at a minor event as his other gear was all wet on a very wet weekend. Sponsors don't like being tricked.
I don't know a lot about sponsorship in different countries and how it works but I certainly would not be taking this guy on his word. It is not the bike that is sponsored it is the rider. My son has to sign a contract with his sponsors and I believe it would be breach of contract if he does not abide by the terms. I very much doubt that it could be transferred to another rider without the sponsors okay and then it would be a new contract anyway
