    I thought I knew this stuff but am getting mixed answers. I think the Rhino counts as a ATV/Cycle so that why I didnt need one for my RHino but..
    does anyone current have a Buggy/Rail reg in AZ without a windshield? The one I am looking at does not have awindshield and I want to get it legal.

    For a buggy or ATV a windshield isn't required, as long as all the occupants have eve protection.
    Regular registration/insurance/license is required to operate on the road.

    Thanks, you just saved me a lot of frustration and perhaps a chunk of $.
    If sales tax was paid at some point in the ownership I am good but how do they determine cost of the TAG. I know someone driving a $70K buggy and pays only $150 a year for the tag?

    For most vehicles the MVD uses the NADA guide to determine the VLT (Vehicle License Tax). If a particular vehicle isn't listed I believe they use the invoice price.
    Registration fees are pretty static, and the VLT decreases every year as the vehicle depreciates. As long as you show that Sales tax was paid somewhere, that won't be an issue.
    The VLT isn't negotiable, based on what you paid. As an example, they used what the book said for my 2007 Tahoe, and not what I paid. ($5,000+ less through Jay)

    NO book value on a Sidewinder dual sport, does not exist. So now how would they determine value???

    I just titled and registered in AZ the Bronco I posted about a month or so ago. Took all of 30 minutes. They verified the VIN, and I waited a whole 5 minutes inside MVD for my number to be called (no "appointment" needed). The clerk helping me didn't know what a Bronco was, so after a few details were ironed out, she checked it in the NADA guide. She also asked if I had an AZ ID to verify my local address. Told her no, but I have utility bills to prove it. She says that's OK, she trusts me. Like you'd see that in a California DMV!
    My Bronco is now a 2 door, 4wd station wagon.... cracks me up. She said with the title transfer from CA to AZ and 1 year registration it would be $22.50, or 2 years for $35! I spent the big bucks and went for 2......

    Yep.
    They'll need to see the bill of sale/invoice to determine the VLT. I just checked on going price(s) for the Dual Sport and you'll definitely be shelling out a load of dough.
