You beat me to it - thanks! We thought this would be a good way to say thank you to everyone who participated. Basically you can get your money back in the form of a discount or if you need an exhaust you can get 10x your money back!

Example - Termi Exhaust= $2150 - your discount for participating in the raffle is $430! Not bad for giving to charity and hopefully having some fun dreaming about winning a desmo!

Does he have to pay California State Sales Tax also which is what 11% plus State Income Tax on top of Federal Income Tax ?

Is there anyway for the guy to not register it and just use it as a track bike?  I can't believe taxes are so high on it that is ridiculous.  Is it really $25k in taxes?  In NY there is just 8% sales tax i didn't think anything else applied to buying a bike.

Yes.  It's treated just like any other lottery winnings, it's not a sales tax issue - it's an issue of getting 70k$ for free, and the IRS wanting their cut as it's considered income.
