I'll try to keep it short but maybe this 2 week ordeal will help someone in the future. Unfortunately for me, my unicorn was sold out from underneath me while sitting on the dealer floor on the east coast.
I was trying to purchase a used 2019 MV Agusta Dragster RC from a non MV dealer on the east coast. As most of us know, any street driven moto purchased from anywhere must be California and/or 50 state emissions legal if purchased new or used(with under 7,500 miles). This particular bike was missing the emissions stickers. Actually it appeared to be missing EVERY sticker from the frame for aesthetic reasons by the previous owner. I called multiple California MV dealers just to finally get one shop to confirm emissions status. Pro Italia confirmed by the sales manager that all 2019 MVs should be 50 state emissions bikes. However, no dealer in California willing to offer the sale of replacement emissions stickers for various reasons from abuse of it, to not even acknowledging that they can order one. This was enough for me to want to buy the bike, ship it and TRY to get the stickers for registration. I made some calls to various east coast MV shops (to get the selling dealer to convince a MV dealer to order the stickers I needed) and all I got was lots of "We'll look into it and let you know".
Any how I received an email from someone directly at MV today and I decided to risk the money on a potential MV Agusta Paperweight. I call up the dealer and they sold it to someone else. I got the: "We've been trying to contact you with the information on the sticker".....not according to my call logs or my work direct line. Bummer.
Any ways, here's what I got from MV Agusta if you ever fall into a similar emissions sticker situation like I did.
