hi, i was wondering if you can turn any dirt bike street legal. im pretty sure that all 2 strokes are out of the question (like my yz 250)but since im turning 16 and gas prices are almost at 4 dollars a gallon her in CT i wanted to buy a 4 stroke but the only enduros that kawasaki and yamaha sell are 250s and after owning a 250 s stroke a 4 stroker wont feel the same. so is there any way to make a dirt bike street legal if i wanted to buy a newer bigger one?

You CAN do it, but you shouldn't... these bikes are not built, nor are the geared, for street use.  Don't buy a newer/bigger one - just buy a cheap dual-purpose bike for commuting and saving money on gas.  


I get 'er done with half the strokes!

Veruca Salt.  The spoiled brat.  

If you want to save gas, buy a moped.

I did get to ride a 500cc 2 stroke GP bike some crazy dude managed to get a plate for in MI.  Those things are insanely fast.

The KTM 450EXC comes off the dealer floor street legal.  It is still not geared for street riding and will get really buzzy at regular road speeds.

Landry.. it's time for another Life Lesson, young man!

Mopeds are like chubby chicks.. they are really fun to ride until you're friends catch you on one

Oh - I'm sure I offended someone with this post... sorry Dave - couldn't help myself!

I already told him that joke in a PM last month Skipper.  Thats why he thought my mentioning of mopeds was so funny.
