Motorcycle info

I have a 50cc dual sport motorcycle. Really a moped but clutch makes it a motorcycle.
I got it registered in VT because I was told that?s easier and then register it in state. VT just delivered my plate but they didn?t give me a tag.
I would love to ride it just for fun and maybe one work commute this year for giggles. I can insure it. I still need a M endowment.
Do you guys think I can ride it in CO on VT plates for the one year of VT fees I paid? Or am I asking for problems with the front range police?

Don?t hold me to this and you?ll have to verify whether I?m feeding you false information.

I think 50cc and under are fairly unregulated in Colorado. I don?t believe they need to be plated or registered and I don?t think you need a motorcycle endorsement to operate one.

If I?m wrong, let me know so I don?t continue to spread inaccurate information.

Here?s some official information.

Skimming through it, the fact that you have a clutch might exclude you from the low powered scooter class.

I have seen cars with paper plates that are two years expired. Enforcing registration laws doesn't seem to be a high priority.

Ride it. A ticket is likely less expensive than a title transfer and new plates.

Many states dont give tags. Just plates. You'll be fine.

Thanks guys. Going to knock out an MSF course this weekend and get this puppy on the road.

The majority of LE wouldn't know a clutch lever on a moped, if it bit them. I'd tell them it was a compression release lever and call it good. besides it's 50cc, so who cares.

This whole thread will be moot when the OP is running wide open at a blistering 22 mph and is run over by a pot head updating his social media on his way to his favorite dispensary.

I'd be more concerned about getting gacked riding something that small & slow. Not to mention looking like a bear on a minibike.....

[ROFL1] Exactly what I thought. "I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this.", "I was thinking the same thing. That John Denver's full of shit"

I hit 35 in my hood all the time. Run out of street so can?t get faster. Plus need new tires. Still have 3k to red line.

That?s a redneck master piece right there. Home weld job, Harbor Freight engine, basket and a bicycle dynamo up front for the lights. And don?t forget the wheelie bar.

Don't want the 'coon tail getting dirty if you loop out.
