street legal 500?

<< < (2/2)

kx666:
in january oregon is changing there laws on licensing bikes for the street. this is after pressure from the federal government to "aid in the war on terrorism.

KTM had to completely change the 2008 bikes to get a few of them street legal. for now on bikes in OR and WA have to be sold with a plate from the dealer and be designated for steet use by the factory to make it to the street. 2008 offroad and race only bikes will have to have emissions too... but this was all decided years ago...

i have been talking to everyone i know for the last few years and no one i know can get around this.

quincyman:
My KX500 is plated too. I had it plated back in 1999 before Washington changed the rules on us. Now it would not be possible to get a plate for it. I suspect if I ever sell the bike that the new owner will lose the plate. But why would I sell such a wonderful bike? Never happen.

BDI:
I heard about that apparently they uncovered a terrorist plot to get a bunch of dirt bikes registered and ride them all around and annoy the hell out of everyone. Thank God the govrnment saved us again.
