The key to this seems to be the wording of the mco, when i requested mine i specifally asked that the body tpe be stated as motorcycle. expcting that dirtbike would be a red flag. the dmv never even blinked just process the paperwork and sent me off with the plate. i have since received my nys title as well.

im not using the hawk as transportation. I just want to be legal to ride down the road to where the trails start, so the small amount of road surface the tires will see wont wear them out much faster than the dirt..

especially if i stay off the stone railroad beds and roads. those tear knobs right off most mx tires.
