Can I register a bike without insurance

I've tried searching but there is a lot of conflicting information here. This is the situation. I have my M1. I'm doing the safety course and will assume I get my M2 in two weeks. I bought a bike. But the back of the ownership, where the seller signed it over to me, says I need to register in six days. I can't seem to find anyone who will insure me with just an M1. But the MTO website says that I need to show proof of insurance to register it.

Can I go to service Ontario to register the bike without insurance? I'm happy to just have the registration with my name on it so I'm the legal owner and then go back in two weeks with the safety, the M2, and the insurance so I can get plates for it.

I'm equally happy to wait two weeks so I only have to visit Service Ontario once, but I don't want the sale be invalidated or something if I let the 6 days expire.

Any help is appreciated.

The 6 days is taken as a general rule.
If you show up on day 60, no one will question it.

Also, no one at SO checks the accuracy of the insurance policy you provide.

If you go to SO now, and put down your car policy #, you will be fine.
If you go in 2 weeks or 2 months with the proper motorcycle policy number you will be fine as well.

It is your safety that is valid for only 36 days and that is a hard set rule. On day 37 it expires.

Plan your registration within the expiration date of the safety.

I know its all new and exciting but don't stress about it too much.

Two things here. Registration of your vehicle, and plating it. You can register it, but to plate it, you'll need insurance. I'd just go register it, then plate it once you have insurance.

Also, there are insurance companies that will insure you right now, since you already taken the M1 exit course.
