Ok I'm Still new here, Ive been looking into buying a 150cc Scooter, I have been doing my research and from what I understand In Michigan anything under 50cc requires being at least 15 but anything over that is considered a motorcycle. what i was wondering is if i buy this 150cc scooter can i licence it as a motorcycle or is there any special set up issues that it has to have. like light lication, licence plate, etc. like i said i'm still new and this will be the second scooter that i will own, the other is a 50cc but now i'm moving up in the world and just wondered.
You have it right. In Michigan, anything 50cc and over is considered a motorcycle. This means that you need Michigan motorcycle license plates, no-fault insurance, and you need to ware a helmet. You will also need a cycle endorsement on your drivers license just like to ride a motorcycle. That means you need to take the motorcycle written test and the motorcycle road test.
If I remember right, plates are like $35 a year, and insurance is something like $140 ish if you have a good driving record and you only insure for liability.
Seems like it should be easier, doesn't it.

It keeps rich morons form buying crotch rockets and killing themselves along with other people on the road.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.
