if you are up to it, you could also consider going the route of getting a SD title, registration and plate. I did that for my hawk, living in NC.

I may try that, Georgia does require you change to a GA plate in like 30 days though, so that still may be no good.

Folks, for those of you having registration issues, specifically in Colorado, I just got mine done.
I had to register it as a custom built bike, and have a state assigned VIN. The NHTSA specifically lists this bike as off road use only. I just finished the whole process, about 2 months end to end (wait times for paper work to be filed/returned and appointment scheduling).. Total cost to me (outside of time/gas) was about $100... Not a huge deal, but I do wish that places like Texas Power Sports, and that dude from RPS specifically, would stop saying street legal... Technically it is correct, except the non-DOT compliant tires), however it is way misleading.. I think someone should look up the legality of what they are saying, vs. what is actually, legally, true.... |

Isn't there a form to fill out that lets you convert a dirt bike to street in CO?

That is essentially what I did - but it is more than a form.. It is actually several, a VIN inspection, a DOT/State Patrol safety inspection, more forms, waiting...waiting...waiting... and finally a VIN plate that gets issued and attached to your bike...

Florida - Titled 'n Tagged Magician 250 (RPS / Txpowersports)
It took the county clerk a while to complete the registration process (20 minutes me sitting across the desk/counter? With several back and forth queries and looking at MCO. Unclear if the "Make" of the cycle was in the database?) And a bit of a surprise; I thought we would need to walk out to the parking lot to validate the VIN, but no need. The stock cycle is now titled and tagged for street use in Florida. I transferred a tag from an earlier sold cycle.
My costs: $24.60 - Tag fee for remaining 6 months of 2017 $76.14 - Florida sales tax $73.50 - Florida title fee $4.75 - Agency fee (county?) ===== $178.99 - Grand Total FL Motorcycle Registration Requirements: MCO (Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin) Bill of Sale Drivers License Proof of Insurance

Jmcgee - I had a whole lot of back and forth with my DMV out here. PM me with where you live in GA and I'll do my best to walk you through the process. I have a Hawk with a title and tag, and it was only a little bit of frustration. Of course, I'm looking at it in the rearview mirrors of about 8 months now, so there's that... Let me know if I can help.

Shhh! Don't bring too much attention to us GA Hawk riders. There are only about three or four Hawks registered in the state, and we certainly don't want the officious red tapers and bean counters taking too close of a look, now do we? I'm going out on the Hawk first thing tomorrow morning. I'm a little over two-thirds of the way through the stock rear tire, and I would like to get a new one hung on there before the move to Arizona.
