They can over ride the VIN designation with a click of the mouse, gotta know someone at registries or get a noob agent that doesn't know better and changes it. Once it's in the system as on road, it's in forever. I got the noob agent when I did my 450, it was brand new from the dealer and she couldn't figure out why it wouldn't go through and made it happen. We bought the 250X already plated so I'm not sure how it got in.
I was going to try this too but after talking with a lawyer and an insurance expert, the insurance companies can and probably will decline a claim if there is one no matter what the piece of paper says.
Once the frame is stamped OHV your pretty much stuck with that designation. Mistake by the registry doesn't make it legal. You probably won't come across any issues unless you were in an accident , which is risk you have to be willing to take
That's why I didn't bother with a street bike license for my first three crotch rockets.....if I seen lights I wasn't stopping, and if something happened a license was probably the least of my worries!
Possibly, but if you survive you're going to be on the hook for everything. Could get real expensive.
For sure Locations you're travelling too make a big difference on the risk.
I'm not concerned, I plated that 450X 17 years ago lol. The only thing that matters to me is that the paperwork is legit when the authorities ask for it, which has only happened twice. For the amount of miles it does on the slab getting to the trails, crashing into someone else isn't high on my list of worries.
