can a brand new ktm 200 xc-w be registered as street legal in MA?

[Point37]

asking for a guy on another forum...is it possible to register a brand new ktm 200 xc-w (2 stroke) in MA if the COO doesn't say anything like "for off-road use only" on it?...he's only interested in the paperwork end of it, not the inspection process

i know you can't get a title in VT cause it's under 300cc so it would either have to go the South Dakota or New Hampshire route...but is it possible to walk into a Mass RMV with his COO and register it?...if not what is the reason that he won't be able to?...i didn't think it was possible to do in Mass but i don't have an answer as to why it's not possible and i've never tried to do it so i figured i'd ask here for him...thanks

so maybe NH is on its way out possibly then too?

Meh. There's a difference in grief and no

Sound's like 'bub's issue was something to do with the odometer, but I don't know any more than was in his post.

Yes it can. Same as any other brand new motorcycle.

Edit: ***they MIGHT give you some grief. But there's been no upheaval because the loophole has been closed. Walking out with a plate SHOULD be no problem whatsoever. Making the bike inspection ready is up to you.

Treat it like any other new motorcycle and you should be fine.

My machine is not new. My funny bidness was because the previous owner ran an aftermarket speedometer/odometer for 98% of the bikes life. The factory speedo/odo that I have was delivered to me in a zipper bag at the bottom of a giant box of parts. It said '12'. Which isn't even close to right. But whatever, it's a dirt bike with a plate. I don't care. But the state does. PO arguably checked the wrong box on the title when he signed it over to me. Confusion ensued.

I have since been issued a title.

None of this applies at all to the OP since he has a brand new machine with a correct odometer.
