Making a dirt bike street legal ...

You have to wonder if making something like this street legal would be a good idea or not?



You'd have lighting to deal with, turn indicators.. hopefully there is some sort of tap for lighting... but maybe not. Then there are mirrors and then mixing enough premix to take you where you want to go, gearing would probably be pretty high for the street. I don't imagine fuel mileage would be so great.


ok forget everything I just said. What is the best radical bike like this that maybe already has lights? I know of the WR250F but what else ya got, 2 stroke or 4 stroke?

Whether you can do it or not depends on the jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions, if it left the dealership as a straight up off-road motorcycle, it doesn't matter what you put on it, they won't license it and allow it on the road. Others just require adding minimal lights, horn, etc.

Riding partner had a KTM 530 (I think) flavour that had minimal equipment that allowed it to leave the dealership as a licensed street legal motorcycle. It was built for off road... or if you prefer 95/5 dirt bike.
