$90,000 in Fines Paid by Moto Forza

Moto Forza (formerly known as Aprilia Ducati of Oceanside) is a motorcycle dealer located in Escondido, California. Moto Forza was issued a Notice of Violation in September 2006, for selling off-road certified Husqvarna motorcycles as on-road motorcycles, many of which were equipped with ‘street-legal kits,’ all licensed and registered with on-road motorcycle plates, both illegal in California. After settlement discussions came to an impasse, this case was referred to the Attorney General’s office for prosecution.  A settlement was entered in Superior Court in April, 2009, in the amount of $90,000 for Health and Safety Code violations, and Attorneys fees.
