KDX Motard and getting it road regoed. HELP!

[WeeHaggis]

Hows it goin? I'm new to the road stuff, and have to sit out my 18 months on a 250, can't stand the thought of going to a tank hugger and have my heart set on motards, have got an 05 kdx, and no money for another bike, can anyone help me out to find loopholes to get my kdx on the road, and then can anyone help with a set of 17's?????????? cheers!!

I think a KDX would be fun as long as you don't have to do motorways... I had an RMX 250. Was good until it blew up, on a motorway, lol... That said, I wasn't riding it at the time, so not sure how it was being ridden...

Does the bike have any lights on at the moment? Have you spoken to anyone to find out whether the range of VIN numbers is illegal for road use?

I'm sure others will add comments about what can/'t be done... (stink, beaten by OB, lol...)

Spot on OB, cheers for the links!!!. Al it would be used for going to and from work, 40-50km round trip per day, basically, wanted to do somthin different for a learner bike, saw a klx 250 on trademe with a motard set up but there slow aint they??? keep the ideas comin

Actually, I think the KLX would be a good bike. Since it's already tarded too.

The question is though, do you want to go riding dirt on weekends? If you tard your KDX, you have the best of both worlds.

Not a KLX but an interesting vid comparison...

Food for thought there al, priced a wr 250 r, new style, with motard setup he wanted 13000, i said for a learner, nah, thats why im tryin to do it on the kdx, cos i want to keep the kdx after i get my full licence and get a big tard, so i'm goin to wait and see if santas good to me, tui!!!!

I suppose it depends on how much you want to spend... I'm sure the KLX is probably too expensive for what it is. You's have to weigh it against what it's going to cost overall to get the KDX running...

Yeah, your right al, im in the process of findin out if the kdx can be road rego'd and if so..... F#@K IT, i want the first KDX motard on the road, sorry for my bluntness but this could be a monument for other learners who don't want a tank hugger, just uprite fun without a woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
