exactly. its what i was planning on doing w/ the vento if i went 70cc.noiseguy wrote:There are ways around this, though. If you read the verbage, legislators are upset b/c a modified scooter does not fit the legal definition of "mo-ped" (sic), i.e. 50cc, no faster than 30 MPH.
A modified scooter (esp. with big bore kits) can still be licensed and driven as a motorcycle. Even in states where they aren't titled (like MI) you can get an assembled motorcycle title with a bill of sale. The shops could get into this registration process on overbore scoots and save themselves a lot of legal hassle. We'll have to see if they step up or not.
