The only thing I can find is that in March of '22 the NY State Senate passed S7849 that did away with the need for a motorcycle endorsement to operate the Slingshot. Can't find anything changing it's registration status. Methinks somebody is blowing smoke up your arse.
I received a physical notice of non-renewal from Progressive, when I called them they explained the reclassification as to why, so this is indeed happening.
I received a non-renewal notice from Progressive yesterday for my Slingshot, I've had it insured with them since 2015 and I'll expire now in July. The message on the letter was "The Polaris Slingshot is used in a manner that's unacceptable to our program".
Obvious that isn't very descriptive so I called them.
They said NY State recently reclassified the Slingshot as a Car, so Progressive will only insure it as a car in NY State. Unfortunately, Progressive's internal systems haven't been updated yet so they can't book it in their systems as a car either!
What makes things weirder is last week I received my motorcycle registration renewal from NY State!
Is anyone in NY dealing with a similar problem?
