Valid question, and it may work however I see a few potential issues.
First, any out of state registered vehicle has to have a vin inspection. If the vin is registered as an off-road bike, which it sounds like the Templar might be, the prior out of state registration is of no consequence to Colorado. In my experience it's been a case by case based on vin if they will register it, even with a prior out of state title. May work. May not.
Second, Colorado charges taxes based on value, not sale price so I would have to pay tax twice at full pop, registration twice, and title twice which starts to add up when the idea is to save money.
Honestly I really like the Templar X for the price but I just don't know if it's worth the gamble. I can deal with a carb over EFI but I can't deal with no plates.
