just got back from over seas got to ride a street artic cat 650 . It was awesome didn't feel it would rollover at all.I would like to ride the steet Yfz 450,they say it handles like better then most cars.
Now my freind has a honda goldwing trike they are the most dangerest thing I ever been on.
lets look at pikes peak there are more then 120 turns the top motorcycle was 10 second behind the top quad time.look at stopping ,my frenld has cbr600 and my yfz450.We were both doing 60mph then stop I had three feet on him.
maybe the government were comparing quads built in the 80's

Even if ATV's were street safe, I cant see the government legalizing them for street use (at least here in Florida). Heck, they are trying to get rid of us from our established riding areas, why would they want us on the streets? LOL.

I used to ride dirt bikes on the road. It only took a little modification. I had a Suzuki PE 250 and a Kawasaki KDX 250. Ya, I used to get pulled over a lot at first. But once a cop had pulled me over and saw that everything was in order (Registration, inspection sticker) off I would go.
Just a hint... Vermont will register ANYTHING for you and you don't have to be a resident! Check the Vermont DMV website. They even have an online form.
Register it in Vermont. Make sure you have DOT approved tires. Make sure lights work, including brake lights. and have signals and a rear veiw mirror and then cruise Main street. Nothing they could do.

As a Florida resident, it's mandatory that your vehicles are registered here unless you own a snowbird residence and reside primarily in the other state. FL Statute 316.2074 (5) defines and strictly prohibits ATVs on public roadways. Regardless if it has a tag from another state or country, it does not supercede state law.

Your wrong there! There a motorcycle hang out every last thurday of the month. And there a Quad with a tag and drives it in the street. The police are there too checking tags and the bikes. So what up with that?

And Fl Statute 316.2074 (2) says: As used in this section, the term "all-terrain vehicle" means any motorized off-highway vehicle 50 inches or less in width, having a dry weight of 900 pounds or less, designed to travel on three or more low-pressure tires, having a seat designed to be straddled by the operator and handlebars for steering control, and intended for use by a single operator with no passenger.
SO make it 51" or wider and change the low pressure tires for regular DOT approved tires and you should be legal!

Big-daddy, If the quad you mention does not meet the definition of an ATV, defined in 316.2074 (2)(5), then it's not an ATV, thus not part of this discussion. I'm concerned about someone putting an out-of-state tag on a defined ATV and thinking they can ride legally on the roadways. If you modify an ATV beyond the the states definition, it becomes a motorized vehicle. Then it must meet motorized vehicle standards to operate legally on roadways.

If you read 316.2074 further, you'll see sub-section (7) that allows law enforcement to operate on public roadways/lands. My ATV is fully marked, lights/siren, turn signals, rear view mirror, ect....Even with all that, it's no fun riding on the roads. I usually avoid the roads by loading it in the back of my patrol truck and unloading near my patrol areas. I like the one on that "streetlegalatv.com" site. That's what everyone needs!! Dual-purpose ATVs.....

Is doing a willy on the street with a motorcycle legal if you are doing the speed limit. Would be nice if atv's were legal on the streets. I'm tire of doing willy's off road to many hole.
I could just see my self going down SW 8 street on two wheels.

I heard on the radio that atv are going to be alowed to
ride on the street but the tires would have to be changed to
street tires. Has any one else heard of this
or are they pulling my leg...
You aren't the only one, I heard about it to but the bikes would also need side mirrors and turning signals.
