Pitster Pro XTR turned down for VT reg.
I sent in all the required paper work, taxes and fees for a VT registration. I got package back yesterday with my check, paperwork and a letter stating the following:

Well that just sucks the big one. Good luck on CT registration.

Interesting that they classify a full size 250cc dirt bike as a little pit bike. Maybe somebody saw "Pitster Pro" and immediately just assumed it as such.

Even they might be cracking down a bit; people do convert pit bikes to 'street' so perhaps there were issues with converted Pitster pit bikes that raised red flags at Vermont's DMV?

I'm beginning to feel like this.... After writing the OP, I got pissed and called Pitster, good thing I did because, my warranty claim almost got lost....After that all got cleared up the new switch gear is on its way and should be to me in 3 days.

Wasn't it WC Fields who is credited with the (in)famous quote, "I would not want to be a member of a club that would have me as a member..." ?

I just thought of something in my search to see if it would be feasible to move back to Yuma (I might want a bike to commute on like I did for nearly 6 years, and your purchase reminded me that with the cost of enduros going up, it makes sense to consider a XTR). I went to Pitster's site, and the lowest cost XTR is the 19/16 version. It states something along the lines of 'Big power in a small size...' or something like that. Months ago, unrelated, I remember comments on a youtube video of the Chinese dirtbike Apollo, someone mentioned it is technically a pitbike. I might have referenced that here on CRs and seeing if anyone was familiar with what 'rules' make a full size bike like an Apollo a pit bike vs. just a plain 'ol dirtbike. No one really knew or posted anything definitive, but your experience with Vermont defining it as a pitbike combined with the club saying the same thing, and Pitster's own advertising about 'small' leads me to believe your bike might technically be a 'pitbike', whatever a 'pitbike' is. With the engine, wheels, and street equipment, it should not matter as far as road legality goes, but its designation might affect its status with off-roading club competition. I guess another call to Pitster might settle it for you.
