N.Y. Vehicle & Traffic Law Section 411-B
Registration fee schedule for historical motorcycles

For each motorcycle which is owned and operated as an exhibition piece or collectors item, and is used for participation in club activities, exhibit, tours, parades, occasional transportation and similar uses, but not used for general daily transportation, an annual fee of twenty-five dollars. For purposes of this section, a historical motorcycle shall mean any motorcycle manufactured more than twenty-five years prior to the current calendar year, and any other model, year and type motorcycle which has unique characteristics and which is determined by the commissioner to be of historical, classic or exhibition value. Registration plates for such motorcycles shall be of a type and design approved by the commissioner, but shall be of a distinctive nature, except that, with the approval of the commissioner, an owner of any such motorcycle may utilize registration plates of this state with the date of year corresponding to the model year date when the vehicle was manufactured, if the model year date registration plate is legible and serviceable, as determined by the department, in lieu of the registration plates otherwise required by this chapter. Such plates shall be used only for the operation of the motorcycle listed on the registration application and on other motorcycles which would qualify for registration under this schedule owned by persons other than the registrant for the purpose of test driving by the registrant or his agent in anticipation of possible purchase. No such registration will be issued unless evidence of financial security, in a form prescribed by the commissioner, is submitted which provides coverage for the motorcycle listed on the registration application and for non-owned motorcycles being operated with such plates. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of this section, the difference collected between the fees set forth in this section in effect on and after September first, two thousand nine and the fees set forth in this section in effect prior to such date shall be deposited to the credit of the dedicated highway and bridge trust fund.
