Does anyone know if you can make an 85 ATC250R street legal in Oregon? If you don't know who do I call to find out? DMV?

I know quads are tough to make street legal but trikes might now be that hard.

I think it is posible but I don't think it can be a 2 stroke.

It is not illegal to make atvs street legal several states allow it.

I don't think one person can reply to this post with a street legal trike or quad in the United States and back it up with proof. I think it is urban legend that just keeps recycling.

There are a couple of states that allow you to cross the road or to ride along side the road for brief periods to get from one trail section to another (no modifications to the quad are required - meaning blinkers, etc.).

Someone prove me wrong on this.

Well, I wouldn't have even asked this if my neighbor hadn't told me you can't make them street legal anymore, I don't see why I couldn't except for the fact that my trike is a 2 stroke, it would be just like one of the Harley trikes. Who should I call to find out info on this?

NotuRaptor, here is legal proof.
Go to http://www.state.sd.us/revenue/Howto/register.htm
Then click on Four Wheel, All Terrain Vehicle, and read.
This is for residents of SD.

I am still not a firm believer. I also read the section above too that reads:

Off-Road Vehicles
"Off-road vehicle," any self-propelled, two or more wheeled vehicle designed primarily to be operated on land other than a highway and includes, but is not limited to, all-terrain vehicles, dune buggies and any vehicle whose manufacturer's statement of origin (MSO) or manufacturer's certificate of origin (MCO) states that the vehicle is not for highway use.
Off-road vehicles may not be registered and licensed for use upon the highways, but MUST be titled. See how to title your off-road vehicle.

I know the Yamaha manual states that the vehicle is not for highway use but not sure about the other manufacturers. Are you saying that you have a license plate on your DS and you can ride day or night on any road in SD as long as it is not an interstate highway?
