Aside from Liability of someone racing one of these on the street, (some dip**** will) one of the main reasons is EPA obviously, now .... maybe maybe not that could be got around.
The funny thing is thanks to the EPA it took damm near 40 years to get technollogy back to a point they can build 425-450 HP 2010 Emission LEGAL cars again that get 25 MPG on the street.
Guys say this and that, but the truth is the reason they dont have a vin is because, a)Liablity (which is one of the reasons max wedge cars had the "sticker") and NOW EPA and Emissions....
Doug Duells IS street kosher (or was) and HAS a title and Vin...(I think it still does) Soooooo....But it wont pass emissions....how many other Stockers would pass emissions.....probably maybe 3.......
I CAN Legally register my dads DP here in Ohio and plan to do that, it will NOT be emission legal but 100% legal in as far as Ohio law is concerned for road use......As long as it has the appropriate lights and signals, thats it.....now to register it for "street" use and get PAST emissions it needs to be set up "temporarily" for "Alternative Fuel" so Alky....if I was going to go the whole road and tag it....
Ive done a lot of that here and know whats involved....mostly "Grey Market" bikes out of Europe and Japan, current model 2 strokes like the Aprilla GP bikes..It can be done, LEGALLY...and when its all said and done its legal....so if all DP owners do this can we stop complainign about the "Street Legal" ? Or does our have to pass emissions too, and theirs not ?

The only problem I have with the new cars is the factors are soft but there should be stock classes for them. Same way with the T-bolts,Hemi darts and all the factory race cars. If you could buy it from the factory there should be a stock class for it. In my opinion.
