We don't collect sales taxes at point of sale.
We had a guy who was looking at a bike for track use. We were going to sell it to him with a temp tag. He wasn't planning on registering it for street use, so he wasn't planning on paying sales taxes on it.
We didn't care one way or the other.

But isn't the government supposed to get sales tax no matter if it's going to be a track bike or a street bike? After all, it's called sales tax, not street tax.
