Weight and/or cc limit for ATV's in NY.

I've said before that I believed there was a displacement limit for ATV's in NY state. Well, today, at Wheel-A-Way Motorsports in Fulton, NY I was corrected. The sales guy there (can't remember his name) filled me in on some details. The limit is for weight and not displacement. The weight limit is under that of most side x side's but well over any current ATV made, including dump truck's like mine. I wish I could remember the exact weight limit but I want to say it was around 900#.

Regardless, from this point on, take everything I say with a grain of salt!

I wonder where the state draws the line....
If it ever gets over the limit there has to be somewhere to register it....

When it comes to wider, longer, bigger the trails I ride become more difficult, if all trails were roads then make it big enough and street leagal.Then the state could make a new classification of dual use quads.In NY the width of 48" for quads may not apply,but in Michigan it does, a 52" quad would not be allowed on trails.

I know the wider ATVs will have a issue, they are already having issues with the utility type ATVs.
I was reading somewhere about how Ohio's riding areas are enforcing the width.

This is right off of the NYS DMV site.

An all-terrain vehicle (ATV) is any self-propelled vehicle that is manufactured for use on off-highway trails. These vehicles are less than 70 inches wide and weigh less than 1,000 pounds.
