Double shot!!
Chinese xmoto dirtbike conversion to 250cc learner legal motard - why not ?
About two grand.
Add basic tail/brake/head lights
Indicators not required ?
Has VIN plate - add rego
Once its legal on the road, add Hyosung GT250R wheels, brakes, controls.
Why? I got three learner riders here. They aren't crasher/smasher type riders, and it would fun to add some variation.
No, it's never going to be a Honda 450. But thats not the point.

"Wow, Great advise there DB."
WTB: Hyosung bikes or going or not.

Here for the arcade.
Sounds like a bit of fun. I can imagine the road legalisation of the bike could become a nightmare with all the bureaucracy surrounding LTNZ. Good luck, you'll need it.
Double shot!!
Thanks for the comments folks. Curiously, I stumbled across the exact same bike today. Lights, indicators etc etc all fitted. No rego plate fitted so I will be keen to hear of his progress.
I don't care too much about the quality of the thing. We aren't going to be giving it a bashing in the rough.
Now the bad news - its BLOODY TALL!!! and the spring on the rear shock looks like it came from a fucking logging truck! Unlikely I could even ride this thing, let alone my kids.

The bike looks awesome - can you tell me a bit more about it - here did you score the bike?
Have you gotten any further with the road conversion?

i think DB you would be better off buying a 20yr old Jap trail bike to modify, in the knoledge that parts are and will be available, where as a chinese bike may not have the same parts availability in 6 months, I also find that some of these Chinese trail bikes are not built to any international standard.
has made a bo-bo in his nappies
probably a good place to start if you don't have much money but don't go far on it until you know what's gonna rattle off.
alternatively, spend the same money on a 250 or 300cc 2 stroke and convert that; more power, costs less to rebuild, costs less to run than modern 4 stroke motards
read this reality check before deciding between 4 stroke and 2 stroke: http://twostrokemilitia.jfn3.com/tsm...-104-lores.pdf
