Registered my new Bashan storm 250 in Buffalo NY! (Expensive)
Got my paper work and registered my bike already! Having a blast for sure and its only day one. It cost me $245 total and I was pretty upset to spend that but I'm over it by now. If anyone lives in buffalo ny with a chinese bike let me know, I'd love to have a meet up. I'll keep updating you all with mods and my break in period! Any questions just asj away

Registering the CSC seemed pretty expensive to me too. I can't remember the price, but I remember I cringed when I got the total. I was just happy to have it registered and plated though.

Ours just skyrockets out here in CA starting Jan 1. $128.00 for Q. I thought that was insanity. Time to thin the herd.
Edit: Q was 68 dollars last year.

I don't know about New York, or perhaps Buffalo specifically, but here in FLA. they charge you $100 minimum for any vehicle that has never been plated right up front ,that's on top of and in addition to all other Fees.,and on some Vehicles it is $200 .It's a one time Fee but still -The kicker is ,even after you pay all that and can ride on the street, if you want to ride at any of the many State Parks here that have ATV Trails, you have to buy a separate permit from the State for a Trail Decal .
So yeah ,after I paid the one time fee, the plates /registration and got the trail stamp i had 1/3 of the original cost of the bike invested in that ,and that didn't include Insurance costs I had to obtain and show for the privilege of paying all that other tomfoolery . I tell ya, it's a racket they got going on .Oh, and my Birthday is Dec 7, and even tho you supposedly pay for a year tag ,if you get in say August, you pay full price it isn't pro rated, but it still ends on Dec 7 ,so full price for only 6 months that first time. If you did it in November, full year rate for 1 month. ( If you weren't smart enough to just wait til Dec.)

Another China bike Buffalonian here...I registered my Hawk 250 just yesterday at the Eastern Hills Mall DMV. NYS is pretty lax with motorcycle registrations, as long as the certificate of origin or bill of sale says "motorcycle" on it. NYS loves its tax dollars though so I would've been shocked if they had refused registration of anything with tires, turn signals, and a headlight. I'm just breaking in my Hawk engine this week (3 miles on it) and am in the Pendleton area. Lots of nice trails out this way...

Im in Buffalo, in Kaisertown just off Clinton st, near Harlem. I try to take a nice trail ride every weekend, but often in the evening on weekdays as well. I would be happy to attend a meetup. |

Got the Hawk inspected yesterday (in Lockport), no issues. The inspection guy was actually fairly thorough with it - he checked the brake resistance, as well as the resistance on the forks, but he may have done this in disbelief wondering how I got a China bike 5-6 miles to his shop with some 55mph roads in between (I did cheat and off-road a little through an open field on the way)...
