How the heck is this street legal?

Nice, but how did it get a plate on it. Really cool "car" though.

Forget street legal, its too ugly to be allowed in any venue.

Don't know about CA but you can register a quad in MT, get plates for it and ride it any where you want. That thing is too ugly for words though. And that "green" sticker says off-highway.

For CA I think it's green sticker all year OHV riding and red sticker limited OHV riding.

How? Headlights, brakelights, turn signals. Pretty much all you need...

wbeck257 · January 06, 2010, 04:13:09 PM

How about the fact that it is a 2-stroke?

NAKID · January 06, 2010, 04:16:13 PM

So, so are quite a few street legal scooters...

First time iv'e ever heard of a four wheeler being street legal. I'm surprized it is that way here. But, no guages would make me think that it isn't street legal. How can you tell your speed. Also, street legal dual sports don't require a green sticker, so why the green sticker?

on top of all that... I thought road vehicles had to have some sort of fender or mudguards on the tires.

MT and South Dakota both have laws allowing quads to be used on-road. See them cruising with bikes in Sioux Falls and instead of bikes in most rural towns cruising on Friday and Saturday nights.

That said, that monstrosity should be burned.

Oregon alows them too.

The same way you get tags for these.

Arizona too. Sandrails, experimental trikes, dirt bike conversions, weird art cars -- at least two or three times a month I do a "they put a plate on THAT?" doubletake.

Idaho too, lights and signals is all you need. Hell i've seen'em without signals and they got a license on em.
Of course up here we're pretty rural.

This whole thread can be summed up by one word....Why??

But then I dont think I really want to know.
