This question is Colorado-specific, regarding the "low power scooter" law. I am planning to build a 50cc "scooter" by throwing a KTM 50cc engine into a 125/250/450cc dirt bike frame. However, I can't tell whether or not the DMV checks the VIN# to verify the engine meets the displacement requirements. They require a VIN# on the application, but I'm not sure what they use that for other than the label on the registration tag. I don't want to go through all the hassle of building something that can't be registered in the category it was built for.
My question is only about the DMV and VIN#, nothing else. These bikes already exist, but they're either hard to find, too expensive, or don't/can't meet Colorado's moped requirements. I just want to build an Aprilia RX 50 clone without spending several-thousands of dollars or being boned trying to register the "scooter".
