Mark up here it's a bit different, a hand full of years ago i had purchased a 2001 Harley Sportster with a Penn title. Brought it home, registered her, a month later i get a phone call from the DMV the inspector needed to inspect the bike. Everything checked out ok but i couldn't keep it registered under as a Harly as the vin wasn't a Harley vin. It was a Penn vin. Because of that i had to reregister her as a 2015 custom bike. Nice bike, but i wound up selling it because i never found the time to ride her.
