Did your State reclassify your Slingshot?

They changed in Oregon last year, but the only difference is an MC endorsement isn't required. Everything else is still the same. My insurance hasn't changed either.

Colorado reclassified a long time ago...may March of 2017 I think. Insurance has stayed the same.

If you live in a State that reclassified your Slingshot from a motorcycle to an autocycle I would love it if you could answer some questions just to satisfy my curiosity.

I would like to know if they changed what it is called on your registration to autocycle. NO

I would also like to know if they changed the type of plate that hangs on the back NO

and if you have the title does it say motorcycle or did they send you a new one that says autocycle NO CHANGE

and finally did the change have any impact on your insurance? Our insurance did decrease slightly this year..........

Thanks

Tennessee reclassified it to an auto cycle. Registration still says motorcycle. Farm Bureau Insurance calls it a touring motorcycle.

In MN everything stayed the same except you don't need the endorsement for the sling, insurance did change as far as the internal classifications but price is the same, so basically no change for us.

Pennsylvania now calls it an autocycle, still registered as a motorcycle, no change for insurance. The only change is no longer needing a motorcycle endorsement on your license.

Why would conversion to autocycle change the license plate?

Allegedly some states are issuing an "autocycle" plate which is priced like cars instead of the ~$17 that a MC plate cost.

Illinois issues an Autocycle plate and it is right in between a MC and Auto as far as price is concerned. Just another way the most corrupt state in the union squeezes a few more dollars out of us...

So you have to mechanically alter your vehicle, just to get the plate to fit? Yeah, I see that happening real quick. Fuck 'em.

Come on @KayTwo, tell us what you really think!

In Illinois they didn't change the physical size just the price!

Mine is still a motorcycle in IL.

Autocycle here in Indiana. All motorcycle laws apply, except you don't need the motorcycle endorsement on they license and you are required to wear seat belts. It is titled and registered as a motorcycle..... I don't think that can or will change unless there is some federal guidelines that are established. The manufacturer is the one that releases the VIN, and the classification. If Polaris calls it a motorcycle, and it meets the federal guidelines for a motorcycle, then a motorcycle it will remain to be. Insurance wise, it's cheaper than my 2012 Harley (just under $300 a year for full coverage). Plates in my state are based on a plate fee, wheel tax, and value of vehicle. Plates are rather high here.....

I believe autocycle in Texas, but we have motorcycle plates...

Florida starts the Autocycle category on July 1st. Be interesting to see if any registration, plate or insurance differences. Will update as we find out.

When they change the classification to autocycle, do they still require you to wear a helmet in the helmet states?
