i know i just threw a lot of questions at ya'll but thanks for any replies
khaner,
You in the military? I spent four years in the USAF so welcome aboard.

You should be fine on 60 MPH roads with the DF and a ride of 60 miles or more is no problem with the DF. However the DF will arrive in a crate if you buy it online so you need some wrenching eperience. If you don't have the expertise available then you should look for a dealer.

You sound like you have never bought a vehicle before with your questions about a MSO and VIN. There is nothing different about buying a DF than any other vehicle. Usually a dealer handles the paperwork with the MSO and the DMV/Tag office.

Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin (MSO) is needed to register/title the bike at your DMV or county tag office.. Sometimes it is called the MCO or CCO. Hopefully, it will be sent to you by the seller of the bike.

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) will stamped on a plate on the bike or automobile. It must match the number on the MSO.
