Got my Hawk registered in FL today. MCO and Bill of Sale was all that was needed.

Thanks Bill and congrats. That is what i'm looking for. Like Bill, list what was required for the registration. We want to help future Hawk owners any way we can.

Jerry, Here's the list of what I had to do for Carroll County, GA.

Create VIN Tags (See Thread Post)
Get VIN Inspection form from GA DMV Website
Take Bike to Sheriff's Office or Police Station for VIN Inspection
Take MCO and VIN Inspection Form to DMV Office
Walk Out With Tag, Title Arrived ~10 Days Later

There are a few Hawks in Arizona. But, more importantly, Arizona, like a few other states, will plate vehicles based on a minimum of street-legal equipment, such as headlight, taillight, turn signals, mirrors, speedo, etc. I know the Hawk will be able to be plated here based on its equipment alone, and that is based on our motorcycle licensing booklet.

Vermont is good to go. In fact they don't care where you live you can always get a plate from them. All in cost for me was $115 for tax and reg. They just need a bill of sale or an invoice. No MSO needed.

[hertz9753]

I didn't need an inspection just the MCO and the invoice with the purchase price in ND.

We can add Arkansas to the list of successful registrations. I just took my MCO, proof of insurance and proof of assessment and didn't have any problems. $15.50

Talking to Don at APSC about registering in Indiana, he indicated experience with this and it would proceed fine. Previous experience with such government agencies means I will need to be prepared when I do finally go in and I will report back any issues.

i know this is not the right thread but i am desperate. Does anyone know where i can get a clutch for an 07 lifan grx-200. Ordered one off ebay but it had 3 to many teeth on the gear. PLEASE HELP THANKS

[nehawk]

I didn't have any problems getting mine registered in Nebraska.

Just finished registering our two Hawks in Indiana and it was pretty smooth sailing. Some notes on how to proceed:

• You will need all the documents from your dealer: Odometer Statement, Bill of Sale and Certificate of Origin.

• Fill out and bring with Indiana forms 205 (Title App) as completely as you can and 23037 (Owner Affadavit).

• If you buy them from a different state than Indiana AND pay taxes, there is another document regarding this you will need. FWIW, APSC did not charge sales tax on our bikes so we just had to pay at the BMV.

• The bikes must be inspected. We hauled ours to the BMV and they just checked the VIN; Police can also be scheduled to stop by and inspect them but they might be a bit more thorough.

• The BMV agent may not be able to find the bikes at first if they classify them as "Offroad", they should be classified "Motorcycle" and then they will find the Haosen 250 in the list.

• DONT BE TEMPTED TO RIDE THE BIKES BEFORE REGISTERING. The Odometer statement should match the bike. If its written for 2 miles and your odometer is different it could cause a bind in the paperwork.

• Do your own homework and be prepared. Be relaxed and pleasant! Having all relevant paperwork ready and filled out, the bike available for immediate inspection (or an approved inspection from a law officer) helps the BMV and means you likely won't have to make a repeat visit!

Our BMV agent was relatively new but his colleagues helped him out and they did not seem at all confused or surprised by the process or had cause to question the paperwork. So I would say Indiana was definitely successful!

This is to JerryHawk250. I see you are in Houma. I'm in Lafayette. I see in your OP that louisiana is gonna want the MCO, bill of sale and odometer disclosure statement. You said NOTARIZED MCO.... does the rest (BOS and ODS) have to be notarized also? I'm very familiar with how "particular" the OMV can be here in LA so I figured I'd try and get that part cleared up in my mind. Also was wondering if you knew what the procedure is if I were to purchase my RPS Hawk 250 online from a company in Texas? I found them from TXpowersport for about $1300 total ($1319), delivered to my door. How does that work with tax in LA? I'll pay tag and title in LA but not tax?

Jerry,
Only the MCO and BOS need to be Notarized. I purchased my Hawk from APSCUSA.com and came already notarized. You will pay the taxes when you register the bike. Glad to see another Louisiana member on here. Jerry, why do I feel like I'm talking to myself?

Thanks for the heads up Azhule. I tried to check out with the Hawk and a helemet in my cart (txpowersports.com) using the AFFIRM option and for some reason they couldn't link my bank account. I contacted MANNY about the sitiatuation. This is a cut and paste of my original email.....

I tried using the link for affirm at checkout and it didn't work. said it couldn't confirm my card. are there any other ways for me to pay over time for the items I have in my cart other than affirm?


This was the reply I got (another cut and paste).......

You can Apply for Get Finance at our web site Txpowersports.com just add the item in your shopping cart. During checkout choose Affirm as your payment option thank you.

I'm guessing it was some kind of automatic reply but nonetheless was also a flag in my mind that perhaps I should be cautious spending $1300 of my hard earned cash with a company that doesn't read it's emails.
