Unconventional Vehicle Registration (Hawk 250)

[Ichrisbot]

Updated on this:

I had the paperwork all put together a while ago, but only just mailed it in a little over a week ago.
I got a response in the mail last night, the VT DMV returned my paperwork and checks with a message. The message states that the motorcycle is a dirtbike, and I need to prove that it is either road legal or has been modified to be road legal. In order to do that, they state that I need to have it inspected by law enforcement in VT, which obviously is a problem in Colorado lol.


I'm not sure how they determined it was a dirtbike, whether it was from the online bill of sale which shows the bike as 'HAWK Dual Sports enduro dirt bike street legal dirt bike 250cc' on my TXpowersports.com receipt. It may have also been from the VIN number, or some other way.

Good luck getting "Manny" (owner of TxPwersports, 360PowerSports, etc.) to help you out in any way... he's been nothing but a pain so far for me...

Anyway, he tried to sell/ship me a HAWK in place of the Bashan I ordered a little while back, he stated the HAWK was the street/highway legal motorcycle in every state, Bashan is not that's why he doesn't carry them anymore... well the HAWK is not "street/highway legal" in any state technically , some states let them be "road legal" because it has lights/signals/horn/mirrors/vin/etc....

It looks as if Vermont is catching on to everyone's 'loophole' tricks and wants to have the motorcycle "inspected"

It looks that way, I know a couple other folks were trying the VT method recently, hopefully we'll hear some news from them.

In the meantime, I'm going to do some more research on the South Dakota DMV, it sounds like they are another option for out of state registration.

Iam thinking of buying this bike in Colorado so Iam wondering how it went? Did you get it registered? Any updat? I would buy this tomorrow If I could make it legal. Thanks

check out my thread about registering in SD. it was a pretty seamless process. I submitted the notarized MCO, bill of sale, and their forms filled out per instructions I posted. sent it with a postage paid return envelope. got my plate back in about a week.
