Motorcycle Repair: inexpensive to make street legal?, kawasaki kdx 200, honda crf 250


Question
Hi Mark,
i was looking to buy one of the following motorcycles (most
likely on Ebay)
Honda
CRF 250 or 230
XR 250 or 400
Kawasaki
KDX 200 or 230
KLX 300
I will be riding mostly off road, so  i will have them
converted to be street legal
(plated) for occasional street driving.
Some of these seem to cost more to make street legal.
How can i find out which ones are cheaper to make street legal,
and from the street legal point of view, what is the difference
between these models?
If you can answer this i would be most grateful as I seem to have
run into a brick wall on this issue
Thanks,
Ned Robby

Answer
Hi Ned,

All that comes to mind is adding the usual equipment requirements; mirrors, turn signals, front and rear lights, horn, nitrous, license plate bracket, you know....

Powering the new accessories may require electrical modifications such as a lighting coil, generator/altenator, switches, wiring, and more. Smoe models may require less modifications, or may not be convertible at all.
