A LOT more horsepower would be a good place to start! Who in the H would want to ride a Blaster on the street, anyway? At least go with something with some *****, like a Banshee, Raptor, or even a 400EX. I'd be afraid of gettin run over on a damn Blaster.

Oh yeah...and get a BIG rear view mirror on that Blaster, so you can see that Kenworth bearing down on you and hopefully get out of the way in time! (peace, man! just having some fun!)

well in the us you can do anything you want but if its not legal get ready to pay a fine or do jail time he he he but actually if ya make the right mods and it is approved by your local department of transportation it is possible that you can ride atvs on the road legally although it may be more expensive than what its worth but man it would be fun one thing i would be afraid of though is even though its key operated i would be afraid some punk would still try to load it up in the back of a pick-up truck and you could then be stranded

Rear view mirrors, street tires, brake light, signal lights, a horn and then it needs to be approved by the local DOT in the "other" category I believe. Also with a Blaster I would throw a 240 kit in it and go up 2 teeth in the front sprocket so it would be topping out around 70 or so. That way when you are cruising at 55 you wouldn't be at like 6500 RPM.

It depends on the state you live in. VERY few states allow ATVs on the road. Here in Wyoming it can be street legal by adding horn, mirror, brake light and getting it insured and registered and you must have a motorcycle license. Wyoming even has a "recreational motorcycle license" that is only a written test and lets you drive ATVs on the road.

My Banshee is street legal and drive it on the roads all the time. I live in the country so it's no big deal anyway but it's cool as hell to see quads cruising around town... Actually, hardly anybody does it even though they an.

YelloRaptor, it's not a USA law; it's state-by-state laws that do or do not permit ATVs to be street legal.

I'm glad someone else in here knows what they are talking about. In AZ the requirements are the same...horn, mirror, brake light, insurance, and registration. I see a couple ATV's on the roads every week.

For those who are wondering if they can in their state, the easist way to find out is just call their Department of Motor Vehicles or their local police station. I doubt anyone in here knows the laws of all 50 states.
