*Any* bike can be plated! It is the inspection process that can be an issue.
I have street registered CR's, XR's, and KDX's - all in MA.
I should rephrase that to: "In the past, I have street registered CR's, XR's, and KDX's."
My current KDX is indeed inspected and 100% legit. My old '95 CR 500 started off with a VA title, so it was easily transfered to MA. On some of my bikes, I built "total loss" battery systems that would pass inspection.
I have forgotten what kind of bike you ride now, but your KTM 125 (which is *awesome*) could certainly be modified to pass inspection scrutiny.
Really, the hard part is building systems that hold up to the constant pounding that dirt riding dishes out. It is no fun to be constantly rewiring and rebuilding electrical components to keep them operational. This is where the factory Dual Sports (like Sean's WR250R) have the upper hand.
Small bore 2 strokes, like my KDX200, are not much fun on the pavement, but I see a lot of them at the NETRA turkey runs.
For dirt I will be rolling crow hill Saturday.
come ride

I get bored too quick which is why I like places with a lot of terrain so you don't have to repeat .
I did get the opportunity many bikes ago when I had my older wr to ride crow hill before it was crow hill, and just a private track off in the woods, it was fun for a couple few laps , but as i said I get bored , same goes with riding Ice tracks, its fun for a bit but then repetetive, I like to go exploring and do new things, thats the best part of a street plate , it opens up new terrain.

So, I stayed local and enjoyed the gorgeous day. I haven't ridden dirt in a month (since I hurt my ribs in the whoops) and I really wanted to just ease back into it. The track was empty and only had 2 puddles that interrupted the line. Going through them lap after lap just soaks my feet and makes holes in the track, so I work out lines around the puddles. I managed to keep my pace reasonable and just work on looking ahead and riding smooth. Before I knew it I was carrying some decent speed and having a blast. Can't wait to hit a big track again...
