Yay! Did you need a windshield, or DOT approved tires? Also, in OH, I heard you don't need insurance as long as you wear a helmet, but that is just hearsay. I have to call the company and let them know to put Motorcycle on the MCO.

I'm in the process of getting my MCO at the moment I will let you know whats up when I get there. So far though from all I've gathered everything should be smooth. Although I am prepared to pay for 2 titles. 1st to get it reg. to the state and then the 2nd to convert it to a MC title.

Damn haha. How much is it to get the MCO?

no windshield needed , tires on the hawk have a dot stamp,they do not inspect the bike ,as for insurance you never have to show it to get plates just dont get pulled over.Full coverage for me was $86.00 although i insure 5 cars and have home owners and business insurance.

MCO is free..... Certified MCO (which I'm unsure wtf that actually means) cost $30.00 through PSM.

Here is my advice take it or leave it ,I ordered from q9 motorsports,bike came 4 days later,took pic of vin number sent it to them following week had a MCO that stated it was a motorcycle,and it was free.Also was notarized which the title bureau requires.They also have paypal 6 months same as cash and what i found out from paypal is if you buy at the end of a month you have an extra month to pay it off,I purchased mine 12/31.

Did you have to request the MCO say motorcycle? Or did it come that way?

I just ordered my black RPS Hawk 250 from killermotosports using Affirm. Just placed $320 down payment. I got to wait until the end of May or early June for it to be shipped, then on top of that, assemble it. :'( I asked in the order comments to send mco that says motorcycle on it. Can't wait to have it assembled and shit. I got about of acre of lawn I can just ride on and learn how to ride before I actually get the bike insured and whatnot. Should I get it registered right off rip even if I can't ride on the road? I am personally thinking I should so the police can be notified if it gets stolen, though i'll have the bike in my basement anyhow in which I sleep in, so I mean, if someone tries to steal it, because i'll be on vacation, I got a nice Glock 26 for em LOL.

My MSO read Motorcycle. Titled and Plated absolutely no problems.
