Again, I highly recommend you read your state statutes, they are alot of fun and they will very clearly spell out what is allowed in each class of vehicle.
I have read my state's laws. There seems to be nothing that specifically addresses what I want to do. But based on my reading of the laws the year will be assigned as the year when the vehicle is registered and the make will be listed as SPCN. But emissions requirements will be based on the year of the engine. So will it be a smog exempt motorcycle with a 1990's based emissions year or will it be a 2009 MC which will no longer be smog exempt when the new law inevitably passes?
