Awesome, thanks for the info guys. I was thinking a road trip would be involved, but it looks like it's all done through the mail with the Vermont DMV. I'll read through that thread again tomorrow and start getting the process rolling!

Vermont just wants your check.

I'm mailing out the VT registration stuff today. So since bike is under 300CC, this is what I'm sending:
Filled out registration form (http://dmv.vermont.gov/sites/dmv/fil..._Title_App.pdf)
Check for $44 registration fee
Check for $82.14 taxes on motorcycle purchase price
Bill of Sale (printed out the e-mail receipt from TXpowersports.com)

It sounds like that's all I need for this bike, I also have a VIN verification document and the MCO, but since this is only a 229cc bike that I don't need to bother with those.

I'll make sure to update with success/failure status.

I know you have already probably sent this off but I would have included the MCO and VIN verification just for good measure. Can't wait to hear of your results so please post back as soon as you know something.

I'll talk to two people and get two totally different answers. Illinois gave me a great response, "We are unable to respond due to the lack of a state budget." :doh:

I have also been told that it is really the dealer's responsibility to register the bike. Customers aren't supposed to do this, and dealers should know what to do. That's part of the problem with internet sales, which is why we are working on locating local dealers who we can work with.

Updated on this:

I had the paperwork all put together a while ago, but only just mailed it in a little over a week ago.
I got a response in the mail last night, the VT DMV returned my paperwork and checks with a message. The message states that the motorcycle is a dirtbike, and I need to prove that it is either road legal or has been modified to be road legal. In order to do that, they state that I need to have it inspected by law enforcement in VT, which obviously is a problem in Colorado lol.


I'm not sure how they determined it was a dirtbike, whether it was from the online bill of sale which shows the bike as 'HAWK Dual Sports enduro dirt bike street legal dirt bike 250cc' on my TXpowersports.com receipt. It may have also been from the VIN number, or some other way.

Good luck getting "Manny" (owner of TxPwersports, 360PowerSports, etc.) to help you out in any way... he's been nothing but a pain so far for me...

Anyway, he tried to sell/ship me a HAWK in place of the Bashan I ordered a little while back, he stated the HAWK was the street/highway legal motorcycle in every state, Bashan is not that's why he doesn't carry them anymore... well the HAWK is not "street/highway legal" in any state technically :lol: , some states let them be "road legal" because it has lights/signals/horn/mirrors/vin/etc....

It looks as if Vermont is catching on to everyone's 'loophole' tricks and wants to have the motorcycle "inspected" >:(

It looks that way, I know a couple other folks were trying the VT method recently, hopefully we'll hear some news from them.

In the meantime, I'm going to do some more research on the South Dakota DMV, it sounds like they are another option for out of state registration.

Merlin 06-16-2016 07:42 PM
Any luck?
 
Iam thinking of buying this bike in Colorado so Iam wondering how it went? Did you get it registered? Any updat? I would buy this tomorrow If I could make it legal. Thanks

check out my thread about registering in SD. it was a pretty seamless process. I submitted the notarized MCO, bill of sale, and their forms filled out per instructions I posted. sent it with a postage paid return envelope. got my plate back in about a week.

I live in NY - Long Island. I went to the DMV office with the title sent to me by the reseller (bought thru ebay), Geico insurance card ($99 per year) and driver license (car). I paid NY State tax and registration fee (about $25) and walked out 40 minutes later with a license plate and registration for the new bike. About a week later a NY State title for the bike was mailed to my home. Was painless.
