California has to CARB approve a bike for emissions. Many bikes that are DOT/EPA approved are only approved for 49 states, not California. In theory, you should be able to street register one of these DOT/EPA bikes, but I have a feeling that New York, like a few of the other Peoples Communist Regimes, aka, restrictive states, will have a few tricks up their sleeves to keep you from registering your bike.

Went to local DMV.....
They said to bring in a VIN# and they can tell you if you can register it... Then I found racewayatvs in NY... I called them and they said Jetmoto enduros are street legal in NY.... But they don't have any.....and won't for at least 2 weeks...... If the Jetmotos are legal....Lifan should be too!!!!!! I called Americanlifans 800# to see about a NY dealer and got a message stating no one was available to answer my call...... I will try them again tomorrow.....off to work I go..... :( |

I don't know. They usually answer after a couple of rings. I have called a few times, but today I tried the toll-free number instead of the regular number.

I called direct on the toll number twice today and spoke with too people and left a message for Shawn about my mso.
It is worth the 2.5 hour drive if you can get a good price on the bike and the dealer does all the paperwork for you. Allen

I will try to contact the dealer rep again tomorrow.....
I simply do not want to go through the hassles at the DMV with MSO/MCO/EPA if they will do it for me...... If they won't....... Well that opens up other options...... We'll see..... :roll: |

A good dealer will do the mso/title work for you. The title fee will be included in the price of the bike. Ask them if they apply for the title for you.

Your welcome. I wish I would have been a bit more patient, but it looks like I will have my new MSO on Monday and wil be able to title it Tuesday.

Like I had said before, I think NY is more stringent (read=difficult) when it comes to plating these bikes, if I remember reading posts either here or on one of the groups. A dealer would be the route to take, IMO. You could always take the greyhound to the dealer and ride it back...
