    Anyone know how the titles are worded for the new thumpers? I just thinking of say a fe501 and registering it with a plate. Then put an actual ds kit on ot later. I did this on my wr300 in Washington because I "believe" it didnt specifically say not for offroad use. Not sure though. This way I wouldn't need to desmog a 50 state legal bike later on. Plus I wouldn't have to go through all the inspection nonsense in my state. Just curious.

    In Washington, it doesn't matter what the title or MCO says. Beginning Jan 1 2012 (or maybe 13) if you can make it "meet safety standards" in terms of lighting and reflectors, and get it inspected and signed off by an authorized dealer or WSP you can register and plate it. If it doesn't have a title or VIN (homebuilt) they will assign a VIN and title to it.

    If I remember right, a few years ago there was someone on here that got a letter from the dmv telling them they had to surrender their license plate for their TE and was issued a ORV registration instead. Was this new law due to that kind of nonsense?

    My Certificate of Origin for a FC450 doesn't say anything on what type of vehicle it is.
