Hi to all. I am a very novice rider and i want to buy an ATV for street use only. In my country most of the ATV's can have a license plate and you have no problem driving an ATV on the street. In my country you can buy some chinese ATV's for street use only like this:

300CC Kawasaki EEC/COC CE Racing ATV CVT ENGINE
250cc water cooled ATV with EEC 14 inch wheels

Does anyone have one of this? Are they any good or should i buy a used Japanese ATV and make street only, if possible. Thanks.

Sorry for my English.

 

A street only 4wheeler may have different emissions and a limited slip rear drive unlike a off road ATV with a locked rear drive which is not so great for rear tire wear and handling on pavement but good for off road traction.

 

Welcome to the forums.
Those look cool!!!
Making a Jap atv into a street machine will be costly.
I'd think on one of those you mentioned.
What do they cost?

 

Cool looking.. Just stick a single rear wheel on it and slap some Can Am Spyder stickers on it.Might get by some of the cops down here..

 

The 2 bikes i posted have rear drive with chain. The main differences i can see are the lower suspension and the street tires.

 

Thank you.
Yes they look cool but the problem is they are all Chinese. Googling them you can find allot of engine problems. They cost 3000-4000 Euros in my country new. That's to mush for a chinese bike. I am thinking is better to buy a used japanese atv for about 2500 Euros and customize it like that but i don't know if it can been done.

 

This chinese company makes trikes but i haven't seen any in my country, Greece. I have seen a few spyders.

250cc Jinling 3 trike

Nice picture, i like the spyder.

 

Another chinese street quad
ATV-Bashan Motor

 

Is there a specific reason you want those tires?
You're not losing too much performance wise if you're using regular ATV tires, I have no trouble maxing out my ATV without anything special, and since most Chinese ATV's won't have a Limited slip differential you'll probably wear out the typical tires much slower because you'll have a bit less constant contact with the road compaired to the 'road' tires.

 

I don't know about the tires. I like the overall look of the bikes.
