Does your bike have a federal certification label/plate on it the says: "Meets all federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS) in effect on date of manufacture?" This is evidence that the bike is street legal and can be registered with no problems in all states. However, some states register them regardless - since there is no official vehicle inspection to verify this.

The bike looks clearly like a mini and people know by sound and sight that it isn't a "real" chopper. It seems great for riding around a small town or like me a quick trip to work. I would NOT take this bike on the highway ever or ever get close to doing 80 mph on this bike. My only real comparison is the 600 Katana I had in college. I can tell you that 50 mph on this bike feels like 100 mph on the Katana. I also got my MSO Saturday and got my plate with no problem at lunch today.

I bought the bike because of the low price and the ability to see how much I would ride it to work while I get back in the swing of riding after a 19 year break. Today actually I'm gonna go check out Harley's at the local shop.

My wife seems to think I'd look much better on one of those. Hoping I can ride it a while longer this summer and get about what I paid for it on trade or sale.
