I was looking to purchase this bike when I came upon this thread. Whew! That was a close one. There is a person you need to talk to. Contact information is as follows:
Technical Services Bureau
Tom Noonan/Mark Engle (Director)
NYS DMV Technical Services Bureau
6 Empire State Plaza
Room 220
Albany, NY 12228
Phone: 1-518-474-5282 (select option # 4)
Fax: 1-518-473-9903
From my conversation over the phone with Tom Noonan (a while back, a few years ago), there are three (3) criteria that need to be met for the motorcycle to get plated in New York:
1 - Motorcycle needs to be able to go over 25 mph.
2 - EPA Certification/Approval metal plate riveted to frame of motorcycle.
3 - DOT Certification/Approval metal plate riveted to frame of motorcycle.
If all criteria are met, then you get a plate. I believe the first two (2) are met. The third one has to be verified by Adam Rinkleff. Hope he chimes in here.
