Default Antique or classic?

How old does a motorcycle have to be before the AMA considers it "classic" or "antique"?

That said, also not sure of the AMA. Up here, it is 25 and 30. But if you go Antique, very inexpensive to license the vehicle, but also very limited to how many miles you can drive, and where you can drive it. Don't get caught using it to go to work, etc. They really frown on that activity. They want you paying that road tax thing, you know. [:'(][:'(]
