2020 TBR7 registered in Indiana

I had no problems getting a 2020 TBR7, bought from txpowersports titled, plated, and registered here in NE Indiana. Just handed them the BOS, MCO, and my (progressive) insurance card. The lady did look at me funny and asked if it was a scooter, told her "Nope, it's a 250cc motorcycle." Took about 20 minutes, we verified the VIN and I was on my way. Do be aware though that you will have to pay Indiana sales tax since it was purchased from other than Indiana.

North Dakota all I needed was MSO and Bill of Sale. Took 10 minutes for my Magician.

Smile Pennsylvania Registration

Fyi...
No issues getting plates in PA for Hawk 250

Purchased from TX Powersports and recieve MCO paperwork.

Brought the following items to the local auto tag place...
- MCO (notarized)
- Receipt from TXPS
- Insurance information
- VIN number
- $250.

Recieved a pink copy of the MV-1 registration form. The original copy of the form went to the PA DMV. Waited 4 weeks. Received a call from the tags place that my plate and registration was in and picked it up.

...super easy

Hi,


I too am from PA., and need to know exactly (WHAT STEPS) you did to get your Hawk 250 Registered here in PA.


The reason I'm asking is that I am considering buying a Venom X22R (from Venom Motorsports for $2300.00) and don't want to waste my money on something I CANNOT DRIVE here in PA.


Also I am here in Harrisburg, where are you located in PA???


Thanks for your help in this matter...


Joe...

I have ended the anguish, I had a bike ordered and had several bumps in the road along the way, I took that as a sign and cancelled the order and as soon as things settle down a little I am going to buy a bike that I know I can get registered and tagged and then save my pennies for a china bike and if it doesn't get registered It wont be the end of the world.
it will cost me twice as much but the peace of mind and not having to argue with the squareheads at the county tax collectors office is well worth to me.

NJ doesn’t make it easy

Bought a “street legal” EPA and DOT approved 2020 RPS Hawk 250 and had it shipped from Texas. I was impressed with the bike for the money. When I went to title it, I was told it was not registered with the NSTHA (National Safety Transportation Highway Authority). With plates in Front of me, paperwork filled out, the last four words you want to hear from NJMVC are “we have a problem”. Weeks later end result was shipping it back to the vendor who tried to push back. Don’t sell as street legal when they are not!
I still want to get another; can anyone tell me a good Chinese bike that I can title and ride legally in NJ?
Here is a list I found on the link below:https://www.state.nj.us/mvc/pdf/vehi...ufacturers.pdf.
If anyone can advise it’s appreciated. The Hawk had great reviews, don’t know about the others. Thanks, and for those in the beautiful over regulated state of NJ don’t make my mistake!

The first problem i see is that list is from 2018. The Hawk DXL came out after that. The Hawk DXL should not be a problem. There should be a NSTHA tag on the bike.

I do not live in NJ (as you know) but from another thread, NJ strictly goes by their 'LIST' even if it's a few years old. I think the problem lies with serial numbers. So, since the RPS bikes begin with a certain serial number, until NJ recognizes the DLX, it will be no go. But, already recognized brands and their serial numbers will allow one to plate newer than 2018 bikes, like the Tao TBR7.

No Problems in Texas

Steps to Register / Obtain Title in Texas:

1) Get insurance
2) Get bike inspected
3) Take insurance card, inspection certificate, MCO, Bill of Sale and form U130 to county tax accessors office.

It took about 15 minutes and walked out with license plate in hand.

I live in New Jersey. The Hawk is a no go of any kind.

I successfully registered a Tao Tao TBR7 in September 2020 with zero issues.

Agreed, they are strict to adhering to the motorcycle manufacturer list. If the first three digits of the bike's VIN are on the list, you are good. Else, no.

Contact the reseller for the first three digits of a VIN on a bike they sell to check. Very simple.
