Ohio street legality
 

Hello any fellow members from OH. Is this bike STREET LEGAL to drive on the road? I don't want to purchase if it isn't.

Reason for Editing:
Okay so, I ended up just now calling the local DMV / BMV, they said some odd shit about the mirriors, head lights, and get this, it has to have a wind shield! What the bleeeeep! So....well...I really want this bike to work on the road as I am broke and it is the only bike I can afford. Is there an aftermarket windshield by any chance that I can install onto the bike when I purchase it? :'(

Also does this bike have a VIN number and a FMVSS sticker anywhere? If anyone is in OH and managed to get this bike actually registered and street legal, I would be really, really blessed if you could help me out get mine street legal!

Here's a list of states that people had success. http://www.chinariders.net/showpost....77&postcount=1 But FYI that bike is not in stock there.

Motobuy has the green Enforcer in stock. and is 49 state legal. Call before you to make sure it is still in stock because they may gone quick. http://www.motobuys.com/db-08-200-rkta.html

VIN is stamped on a plate affixed to the head stock. It is important that the MCO/MSO says motorcycle and not dirt bike....ARH

Dear JerryHawk250, I thank you for the wonderful advice! Sadly, I would not be able to get the Enforcer, as the link I provided, I can use Affirm and without the assembly, it has me pay a down payment of $320, which I can perhaps get away with, compared to a $450 on the Enforcer. I saw that it said Ohio was successful, does that mean it is road worthy in OH?

Dear Ariel Red Hunter, Thanks for the advice as well! May I ask if the MCO/MSO says that it is a motorcycle or not? How would I be able to find this out before I purchase the bike as I can't return it if it's based on street legality.

Just be very careful taking the word of any of the online CB sellers unless it is someone with a solid reputation and well documented from members of this site --- then you are safe...otherwise too many of these "whole sellers" will tell you whatever u need to hear. ....

Thank you for the advice! May I ask what you suggest?

When you buy the bike, you just tell them it has to say on the MCO/MSO that it is a motorcycle, and not a dirtbike. Even if you tell them, sometimes they get it wrong, so read it when you get it to make sure it says motorcycle. If it doesn't, call them back and tell them (again) that it has to say motorcycle on it. You want all of the paperwork correct before you go to DMV the first time...ARH

I'm in Ohio as well. Bought a Magician that is due here tomorrow morning. From what I gathered Ohio BMV website. Is the following.

What Do I Need to Bring to the Title Office?

APVs and off-road motorcycles purchased on or after 07/01/1999:

• Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin (MCO)
• If titling from another state, certificate of title in applicant's name or assigned to Ohio resident (if applicable)
• For out-of-state titles only, an out-of-state vehicle identification number (VIN) inspection; inspections can be obtained at any Ohio deputy registrar license agency (click HERE for current fee) for or new car dealership (call ahead for fee)
• Payment for title fees, including a lien holder notation (if applicable)
• Sales tax on purchase price (sales tax rates by county are available HERE)

Also, it is possible for a dirt bike to be plated and legal for street use in Ohio. I'm not sure about the windshield aspect though. Its the law in Ohio for a Temp. MC. License to wear Helmet and goggles. I feel like goggles and a windshield is kind of a pointless combination. IMO.

I got my Magician registered here in Tennessee with no problems. Went right through.

In other words, just when you think you paid it up , the check writing party just continues at the insurance, inspector, and dmv.>:(

Basically yeah.

I thank you so much for the information! Yeah, I believe the BMV in Lancaster told me it needed a windshield which I thought was absurd. Perhaps I heard her wrong, hopefully so. Yeah, I got to call the people who sell the dirt bikes to make sure the MCO says Motorcycle.

Shouldn't really matter I don't think. You can get it converted to MC title later. I think.

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.

hey i have a Hawk,took paypal receipt for sales tax mco and had the title is five minutes,then off to license plate easy to obtain.

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.

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.

I grew up in Akron actually in the Kenmore neighborhood. Maybe I'll pass ya one day and give you the toot toot of a Chinese bike. :hehe:

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

thats awesome,i work in Barberton and live in Green.I think i seen a green Hawk a few weeks back.

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.

At least you know everything will be out together correctly. Might want to invest in a digital cluster http://chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=18194. Keep us posted how titling goes for you :)

You have to put in the mco request with killermotoraports after you reciebe the bike. Just an fyi

no Q9 sent it and it said motorcycle on it.

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

looks like they are hitting the wholesaler on may 15 so you should recieve it soon!
