do make sure you get the bill of sale notarized. it's a pain in the butt, but worth it if you need it.
GA is unusually permissive: anything over 20 years doesn't need a title (although i have mine). the "antique hobby" plate is just a plate you can use like the one with the eagle on it or the one that says "teachers are freakin' awesome" (i don't think that's the exact wording). there's no extra fee here, and no restrictions about when you can drive it.
but georgia is slack. we also have no safety inspection. if your bike is "well sorted" and has good tires, has its turn indicators, horn, brake light, hi/lo beams, it should pass inspection. if it doesn't you need to fix that stuff anyhow.
GA does, however, require completion of a certified training course before you get your license -- $2-400 and a long wait list. i'm glad i got my license when i was a kid and kept it up to date.
i'm a native virginian, and those guys make you jump through some hoops. i remember PA being so much worse than VA that i just kept my oldsmobile registered in VA. but if memory serves, at least you can get the license/title/tags all in one place. you might need to have the bike in your truck or on a trailer to show the actual frame/engine VINs to the clerk.
whatever you do, call first, tell them how old your bike is (this can make a big difference), make notes, follow every rule to the letter, and expect it to take a long time. resistance is futile.
