Florida - anyone ever register as a motorcycle assembled from parts?

I recently spoke to someone at the Sarasota DMV and was told the same old thing that you can't register them because they are not mopeds and you can't ride them on the street because they have motors and aren't registered.

Since I am thinking about building something with a GX200 engine (or clone), I figured I'd ask about registering as a motorcycle. I was told to consider registering as a motorcycle assembled from parts. The process boils down to an inspection where you have to show you acquired all of the parts legally (i.e. bills of sale).

Has anyone considered or gone down this path?
