Hey dudes
Sold my DRZ400SM in Dec 2013, but after a year of having no garage, it's time to get another motard...
Looking into the Husqvarna SM610s, there's a couple on TM that look decent but I am wondering if they are actually LAMS legal? According to the LAMS site, the Husky SM450/SM630 are legal but it doesn't mention the 610 model. Wonder if this is an oversight by NZTA or a power to weight thing. Also not too worried about acquiring aftermarket parts and such, happy to order overseas if need be.
Due to get my full when I'm comfortable riding again but was hoping to be "legal" while riding until then.
Have been reading a lot of reviews and searched here as well about the 610s, they seem to be pretty good apart from the small fuel tank. I was looking at the SM630's and they seem to be decent as well - though not a huge power upgrade over the 610 model for the difference in price.
Edit:
Got bored, did some calculations about LAMS stuff...
I did a quick calculation for the power to weight ratio;
kW rated at 38.7 (stock)
Tare weight at 142kg
Results in power to weight at 165.7770064, over the limit of 150 to be on the LAMS list.
But in their LAMS FAQ it says that they take into account + 90kg for a rider+gear for motorbikes on the list, making it...
kW rated at 38.7 (stock)
Tare weight at 232kg
Results in power to weight at 101.4669608, which should fit the bill of under 660cc and under 150 kilowatts per tonne power to weight ratio.

Wonder if I could apply and get it on the list?
