MA registration for Hawk 250?

Hello everyone, I just got my license and want to buy a Hawk 250 as my first bike. I emailed my DMV (well, technically the RMV here in MA) to find out about any potential registration issues, and they said they would register any motorcycle so long as it has a bill of sale, certificate of origin, and meets NHTSA standards. The last one is what scares me a bit. I know if the tires aren't DOT approved I can simply replace them, but is there anything potentially terminal with the bike like the absence of a sticker that might be required to be considered NHTSA friendly? Also, I've done a brief search of some insurance companies for quotes and haven't seen the bike in their list; would that be another issue? Thanks in advance.
