Here's the thing.... You don't own that bike....And don't think Honda doesn't have a list of all the VIN's they gave to the school because they do.... A gentleman a few years back who though he would pull a fast one in California found out the hard way when the folks at the DMV couldn't find any registration of his VIN anywhere. Guess what---They contacted Honda.... Guess who came to pick up the bike...Yep... Honda motor company. If you have a school bike, you don't own it. You can't...There was never an MSO produced and Honda never payed the taxes on those bikes. They can't be registered legally by federal and state law. If Honda ever does a querry with all DMV's across the country, more than a few folks might be upset when the Sheriff shows up to reposses their CXT..... This is just the truth about the school bikes... Plain and simple. The school signed an agreement saying that the bike would be given back to Honda or destroyed. Any that got out or away from this did it unlawfully. I've talked to Honda, and done my research. Any ?'s Pete
