can i just use thee r1's title and drive with it that way, effectively stating that it's a modified motorcycle?
The days of registering a "modified" (my words) vehicle based on the donor's VIN are rapidly coming to an end. This process was commonly used in the past, for instance, for registering VW-based dune buggy's. Many states now prohibit this method by statute, if not practice. However, Michigan does provide you a legal and straightforward means of registering your "modified" trike as an assembled vehicle. Pick 1, 2 or 3 from the below. I think that you will find you fit into any one of these catagories.

Some owners want to know how they can title and register an assembled vehicle. An assembled vehicle is:
1. One built (assembled) from new or used materials and parts by someone not recognized as a manufacturer (usually an individual). Example: homemade vehicle.
2. One altered or modified to the extent that it no longer reflects its original manufacturer configuration. Example: a Volkswagen made into a dune buggy.
3. One which has had its body replaced with that from another vehicle. Example: pickup truck has its cab replaced.
4. One assembled from a kit (often called "kit cars"), even if a Manufacturers Certificate of Origin is provided.
And here are the instructions for registering it:
