The lights are removed because they get better gas mileage without them.

Right. they draw current away from the spark plug.
Doesn't explain why they use LED strobe lights though.
Actually, as ridiculous as it sounds and however miniscule the effects are, there is an iota of truth in that statement. Without light and/or mirrors the aerodynamic drag is smaller improving fuel efficiency an infinitesimal amount. The overall weight of the bike is also reduced ever so slightly also contributing to fuel efficiency. Yes it's laughable but there is truth to the statement.Right. they draw current away from the spark plug.

WHO said it and Fox News reported it so it must be true, DR is the most dangerous country in the world for drivers.
We top Venezuela, Thailand, Iran, Nigeria, and South Africa to name a few.
People personally think a lot of things but thinking don't make it true.
In the DR when you drive its not if you are in an accident but when.
For some strange reason Dominicans are not disturbed by their highways being the number one cause of death in the country.
I think it is appalling.
No matter how great a driver you are here other drivers just crash into you.
I have been hit once and have had many close calls, normally motos turning left in front of me after passing on the right...etc. Scary driving for sure, however I found driving in Honduras and Eygpt worse.
100%
You can register the motorcycle, you can register the helmet and you can register the drivers underwear. Who cares until you patrol the highways for the safety of everyone, not just rich folks speed traps in la Romana. Everyone will be registered and then 20 years from now we'll dust off that useless rotting database and decide we're gonna now patrol the highways and roads like a civilized country.
As long as Motos can go the wrong way on a one way street nothing good can possibly happen...........Not to mention riding on the sidewalk to save 2 minutes...........
He is a unique dilemma. My bike is plated and registered. I have 3 different helmets that I wear based on where I am going and the weather I might encounter. How is one sticker going to work? LOL. The other thing, is the helmet sticker registered to the bike itself or the driver? If it is the bike itself, what happens if you own 2 bikes and one helmet???
I have yet to see anyone on a larger bike with a sticker on a helmet.
I have had my motorcycle license in Canada since 1976. On top of that, I have my CMA race license (#233) yet of course, I will have to be tested. They do make it difficult for simple tasks. When I went for my general driver's license renewal in La Romana the process was exceptionally slow and unorganized. I guess I can plan on another full day watching the circus in action!

Hey but they have biological scanners now! All the tech in the world can't fix incompetent human hands or embarrassingly broken processes
No need to transfer any ownership.
"Papel" from motoprestamos is all that is needed as long as it has the VIN number. A small fee for the registration card, helmet, and small fee for insurance. In an out in 15 minutes when I did this for my scooter couple of months ago. About 1000 pesos total cost with insurance and everything. And no, no matrícula or license plate needed, I still drive around with an Ohio novelty plate the scooter came with, and the motoprestamos has still the matrícula in their drawer.
Take a photo of the helmet sticker, go to imprenta and ask them to print two copies of the sticker for you on a sticker paper and just stick it on the other two helmets.
Motorcycle license is not a license. It's a registration card. Even though it says license. And you don't have to pass any test to get it, just pay the fee.
When my wife got her motorcycle endorsement on her existing license to drive an automobile, she asked about the sticker for her helmet.
She was told by the manager at the Intrant office that she did not need the sticker because she also had an automobile license. The sticker was just for people who only have a small motorcycle. True story. I was there. Just another one of those WTF moments in the DR. And so it goes. A lot of things here make no sense and that response was certainly another of those things.
Will she be pulled over more often because she does not have that sticker on her helmet? Time will tell.
I think you are talking about the registration of the motorcycle, NOT the license.
A motorcycle license is without a doubt a license that requires taking a test to obtain.
One can make an appointment for that license and test here:

Two licenses...one for a motorcycle another (upgrade) for an automobile
They test & issue the licenses at these reg'n sites - If I read it right !

Here is the link for motorcycle licenses, which are Class 1 licenses:

Both of those licenses are shown as endorsements, Catetory 1 for a motorcycle and Category 2 for automobiles, on the back of the same dirver's license. I don't consider one as an upgrade for the other. They are simply different driver's licenses.
Since the motorcycle was already registered, I don't know about that precise point as them being the same location.
Intrant has this about registration, but does not seem to apply to motorcycles or automobiles:
