50 on the street

Yes ive searched but am still skeptical. if i run a crf50 (classified as under 50cc) and put headlight, tailight and turn signals technically i should have to register or insure it as it would fall under the moped laws correct? just curious because i used to ride a garelli 50cc moped with lights and the cops never would give you anything.

Depends on state. I know that's true in Virginia. But you don't even need lights. Absolutely all you need is ID(not even a driver's license) and you need to be 16 or older. Also the vehicle can't exceed 30mph. But no insurance, registration, plates, inspection, fees, DMV's, lights, seat heights or any of that to deal with here.

Re: 50 on the street

you still have to register and insure it if your in the state of california as a "moped" has pedals
doesnt matter if your under 49cc
you will also need your motorcycles license

zbbt, that is not the case, the CRF comes from the factory as an OHV, since the new laws passed in 04 its impossible to register one as a dual sport.

Mere luck, if you walk in with a 03 title to a XR50 it will get shut down because it says OHV right on the pink.

Its been done twice,but the catch is we had 03 bikes from another state with MCO's.The key is to use out of state frames.

Re: 50 on the street

Maryland laws are funny. You could get it registered as a moped but not a scooter. Scooter cant have a shifter and must have foot position in the internal of the chassis like a vespa. But then if its a moped you have to register it vs a scooter you dont. Not to mention the fines are kinda steep for getting caught also.
