"Japanese on-road atv"
I've always been a suburban/urbanite and trails aren't really my thing. However, I love how atvs look and I've always wanted one. My original plan was to find a regular sub-50cc atv, put some honda road tires on it, and just ride it around town under 35mph like you would a scooter.
Then, I found these:
JAPANESE RACING R-8 125cc ATV
I've been reading on the legal implications of street atvs, and my plan would be to have my uncle in arizona buy and title it, "sell" it to me, and I transfer the title to georgia.
My big concern is what looks like a solid read axle... Is it really solid, or is there some hidden diff I'm not seeing.
Thanks

Why would a solid rear axle be a "big concern" ....I don't understand....
Ride a equipped Polaris ATV on the street with the turf mode option , its amazingly better in ride in every way vs a full time locked 2wd rear end.
LOVE the look of it though.

in georgia , no off road vehicle can be titled for street use.
least thats the way its was a few years ago.. we used to build rock crawlers/ buggys and couldnt find a way to get them street legal.
mainly due to insurance and safety lights.
there is a clause about farm use vehicles being able to get a tag without a title but you cant just go cruising with it.
now if you wanted to get creative.
buy it yourself, dont worry about a title
go buy a junked street bike..one with a clean title
cut a chunk of the frame out ...the part with the vin, and cut the same size chunk out of your new vehicle.
weld to gether ...smooth the welds, repaint and call it a modified street bike.
you still have to add brake lights, turn signals, flashers, and a horn
and have it inspected, depending on the status of the junked title (salvage)
but if the title is clean and the numbers match your good!
that is the only way we could get our rock crawlers on the road, was to buy a junked jeep and use the frame and dash parts...and title it as an old jeep cherokee.
of course if you get caught doing this I'm sure you could go to jail or pay a huge fine
