Unconventional Vehicle Registration (Hawk 250)

Started the process of getting plates for my Hawk 250 this week, spent some time at the DMV but have a little more homework to do before they'll allow me to register it.

Got VIN verification done for free by a nearby car dealership, no issues there.

Brought the Certificate of Origin, proof of insurance, and bill of sale into the DMV.

From what I understood, they could not find the RPS Hawk 250 in their system, and thus needed me to do some additional homework and register as an unconventional vehicle.
It sounds like as a result of this process, the bike may be entered into the system.

They tried searching for several variations of the make using RPS, Ricky Powersports, and Chongqing Haosen Motorcycles, etc. but had no luck with any of them.

Anyways, the additional work is a bit of a pain but really not too bad, to register as an unconventional vehicle you need the following in CO:
Copy of front and back of MSO / Certificate of Origin
Copy of Federal Certification Label (NADER, this should be on the bike itself)
Vehicle / Motorcycle description (specs) sheet (This is listed in the owner's manual)
Buyer's invoice
Photos of vehicle (I was told get photos of both sides, front and back)
Copy of EPA certification sticker on the bike
County contact name and phone # (I'm told this will be provided by the employee at the DMV)

I'll have this all together in a day or so, and hopefully it all goes smooth after that!
