Ok, I have heard of others managing to get a JDM bike plated in some more lenient states. There is always the old method of VT...but, read that it might be closing that loophole even in VT...they were asking a lot of questions according to one thread I read.
Glad you were able to get it plated and legal, however that was achieved.
They are super cool bikes and they were raced in the PAC NW a few years after they came out in a Spec class like racing affair. Saw some video of it and it was pretty cool given they are pretty evenly matched it becomes rider skills and tuning that lead to winner circle placement. The racers were having a blast.
