Ok, so I have a question.
I bought a 50cc scooter to get my wife familiar with riding. It's your basic Chinese scoot with the classic 'euro' look to it. My eventual goal will be to bump her up into the 150 Vespa range, but I'm not doing that until she's fully familiar with the starter bike.
Soooo, this a little squirrely because I bumped up the scooter with a 100cc BBK. If she starts riding it around a good bit with me, then I'd prefer to get it registered as a motorcycle and tell her to get her permit. (She's going to fight me with that but that's another ball of wax) So, can I take a 50cc scooter, which I have a title for and already have moped tag on it, and register it as an insurable, full fledged motorcycle with proper tag?

Eh, I am capable of doing crazy things, but I tend to be a stickler for rules. Especially when its my wife riding it. If she gets busted doing 40 on a scooter that's only allowed to do 30, I don't want her being ticketed.
Oh, and I'll be on my motorcycle so her '50cc' scooter keepin up with me may look.... odd.

Rules vary by city. One issue could be emissions, can your BBK'd gy6 pass all emissions testing?
