Is There A Street Legal Dirt Bike?
By dirt bike mike | May 29, 2009
There are many people who want to have a bike that is street legal to ride back and forth to school or work, but can be used evenings and weekends as a dirt bike. But Is there such an animal? Is There A Street Legal Dirt Bike?
Enter the Enduros and Dual-sports - Favorites are the Kawasaki KLR250, Yamaha WR250X, Honda XR250 through 650 (you can buy light kits for these bikes to make them street legal), and the Husaberg TE/TC models.
But the Yamaha XT250 would be an exceptional choice as a commuter/ dirt bike. It can be ridden everyday with no problems, gets 85 MPG's with a top speed of about 75 mph and cruises comfortably at 60 to 65 - even if you are a big burly guy. You might expect to pay $4250 for a new XT250, but you could find a used Yamaha XT for quite a bit cheaper.
