Hi Guys,
I recently just bought a new to me well used 2008 Ktm 250XC. (2 stroke). Its my first dirt bike...but have been riding street bikes and atc's and atv's for most of my life. Been slowly trying to fix this up, as it seems she was always put away wet and dirty, and normal maintenance was never done. It runs good though, just looks crappy, and all bearings need to be replaced. (working on that now)
My riding buddy has a Ktm 450 that is street legal. He keeps on telling me to just get a plate for my bike, Does having it on the road (without having a valid inspection sticker) better that just registering it for off road use? Or do you need to have both, offroad registered and street legal plate on enduro bike in massachusetts?
I dont have lights, directional, all that fun jazz on my bike, nor do I want them. Thats what my motorcycle is for. I would just like to not be hassled if I have to ride down the road a bit from trail to trail. So does having a street legal plate trump being registered for off road use?
Next question. I have the original Certificate of Origin....but its been signed a bunch of times on the back. Is this useless as far as trying to get a title from it? (im like the fifth owner)
Im trying to figure out my best plan of action. I wont be taking trips to work, or the store on this thing. But there are a lot of trails i ride that i need to ride down, and across some streets to get to the next one.
If my Certificate if origin is no good to help me get a title, can someone PM me details on what to do? I have a brother in law who lives in NH,heard I could sell it to him, and have him get it street registered there, and then I buy it back from him.???
Just looking for some advice. Ive been riding street bikes for almost 20 years, but feel like a pussy on my dirt bike. LOL. I also realized Im no longer as fearless as I once was.
Thanks
Jay
