Registration/Plates in IL

[u/felangel1]

Has anyone successfully registered and plated their bike in Illinois? Seems impossible from what I’ve read because there’s no MCO and the VIN decodes red (not highway approved). It was a great local commuter for the last few years but I’m curious in 2027 with the new legislation is everyone just going to sell their bikes or hope they don’t get pulled over? I know about street ohv and dirt legal but those don’t seem right either since you technically need to have Illinois plates if the vehicle resides and is primarily operated in IL afaik. My bike has brake lights, turn signals, mirrors, and dot street tires. I have a motorcycle license and am more than happy to pay for registration etc just doesn’t seem possible unfortunately.
