There's a post on Facebook about the Vermont title process and it says no VIN verification is needed for bikes under 500cc.
There's even a link to a website that offers this as a service and it says the same thing.
So.... VIN verification needed for a CT70 or no?
I've read through this thread and I'm thinking about giving it a shot. Can I get an updated "Cliff's notes" version of the process and maybe a link to any forms or addresses I'll need?

Simply Google for "Vermont DMV", look for the "Registrations" area and chose Vermont Form 119 and its instructions at Form 119i. Its really pretty straightforward.
Yes, you are correct that it is not stated anywhere in the Form 119i instructions that a VIN inspection is required. However, when I first started doing these Vermont registrations, a clerk in the Montpelier VT DMV office rejected my application stating that my bike was not authorized to operate on U.S. roads. Since that rejection, I have done a VIN and roadworthiness inspection here with the Louisiana State Police - a free service. I have not had any trouble since then.
It's all up to you.

I got an application rejected today... I forgot to put the number of cc and wheels on it... On the letter they sent me it had a blurb stating I had to have it inspected my a Vermont inspection place. I just wrote on it that I believe this is the case if I am registering it as a resident of Vermont but I am not a resident. Hopefully that flies.
FINAL UPDATED UPDATE:
•10-24-17 - documents completed and mailed to VT via USPS
•10-27-17 - VT DMV received documents
•11-3-17 - check deposited by VT DMV
•11-8-17 - check cleared my institution + VT plate received in mail
•11-13-17 - official VT registration/sticker received in mail
Now a done deal. Off to my DMV to finish the task and get it titled/reg here.

Vermont just cashed my check so my letter to them in response to them noting it needed to be inspected by a Vermont inspection station must have satisfied them.

What is the going rate? I have a few z50's I need to register.
Also, on my first CT70, I put the incorrect vin. How did I fix it? I called Vermont and spoke to an actual person. Fixed it over the phone. A real live person and common sense AND able to make a decision. Unheard of in today's world.

Going rate? Find nada value of bike in fair condition multiply by 6% add $48 plus cost of stamp and that is your cost... nada value varries greatly... $80-120

Just licensed my 1970 CT70H. Mailed in on November 15th, received plate and registration December 14th, check cashed December 8th. Interesting I did receive a temp tag not sure because of off season or they changed the process. I have 2 more to go after I successfully transfer this one to Michigan in a month or two.
Congrats! Whereabouts are you located in "The Great Pothole state"?

Armada/Auburn Hills.
Honda's stay at my mom's place in Armada. I live in Auburn Hills. That's part of the reason to title is until I have my own place. I need proof of ownership just in case something bad ever happens, I want proof of ownership.

I was lookin recently at some possible minibike adventures. If I head North from Davison, up M-15, zig over to M-24, and keep on truckin, I'd be into the thumb, maybe right along the coastline. It would be a, all day, big nuts, kinda ride for me. AKA...awesome.

I've been thinking along those same lines, for the last 2-3 years now. For you, just hang a right on M-15 and you can keep going at least to Vassar. Last time I went through there, it was still largely rural, the roads lightly traveled. Need to do a little recon, it's been 20 years since my last trip through the Thumb area. Given my druthers, I'd prefer a little more laid-back pace than is the norm, on M-15, south of your location. Pushing 55mph+, for 20-40 miles at a stretch, becomes tiresome after a while. Just slowing that down to 50-55mph, makes all the difference. And, I think that should be possible, just by avoiding a few of the main highways. Of course, the guys who don't have bikes capable of those speeds have to be accommodated, too...or they're excluded and we want to avoid that.
This is a well-established thread, so I really don't want to turn this into a hijack. Let's start another, dedicated, thread...in the appropriate folder...to discuss some ideas. We've months to go before riding weather returns, here. For now, suffice it to say that, imo, there are three basic possibilities: coastline, interior and small town/campground. It doesn't necessarily have to be a single day ride. There are two state park campgrounds along the Lake Huron shoreline, from which different rides could be staged.
The middle finger is Lansing.
