How old is it?

If it's less than ten years old then you'll need to SVA it then register it with a V55, SVA cert, insurance cert & proof of age.

If it's more than ten years then you don't need the SVA but will need an MOT instead.

I've been out the bike trade for about 5 years tho so that's assuming nothing has changed since.

Registration fee was £25 back then plus you'll need to tax it.

can you get away without lights?

You'd be much better off with a 4 stroke for the road in my opinion. If your going to ride a 2 stroke pretty hard then its going to need rebuilds sooner than you think mate.

Ill be going for a road registered crf450 later on in the year as well as my current bike so i can ride on the roads and take it straight on track.

S1rst think i might do the same

beefy-rst-2 the same question has been asked in the motorcycle forum and not really answered, so i don't blame you for asking in GD

as far as i know, you can get away without lights if you have a 'daytime use only' mot

gurnE

You can get away with no lights as far as an MOT goes but I'm not sure about an SVA test. It's a lot stricter.

As for proof of age a letter from the manufacturer or owners club will usually suffice.

hope this helps beffy
eny bike can be road reg just need couple off things ,one off the proplem ul come across with this bike is finding the power to work the lights as a road trail bike has allredy got a battery and a chargeing sistem on but a mx bike hasent got a battery on , the bike needs a diffrent exhaust pipe on as the one thats on is to loud for road use ! the bike also need to have a stop/start switch ie a kill swicth , front light and a stop light that work from the foot brake and the front brake leaver and a spedo is also needed then just ring yea local dvla to get the forms to regester the bike along with yea mot an yea way

only the new 07,s ktm 450,s have leccy start mate ( the sx range)a lot of enduro bikes have leccy start as they are already kitted out with lighting kits and most are readily available road registered as a lot of enduros enquire roads in between of sections

nthorpey

would be intereste din seeing this if poss PUSS too, as i'm looking at doing the same thing now i feel safe enough to get another bike and love the moto-x bikes more than R1's etc. i'm thinking YZF450

foreigneRS

RC4 only the ktm? are you sure? how about a honda CRF450X?

RC4

try www.mxtrax.co.uk go in the enduro forum lads as they know the ins and outs on daytime mot etc...........as a few lads have registered thier bikes for road use on there
my brother in wigan is selling a crf450 proper converted to supermoto for sale its on a 05 plate...........he has just bought a 600rr cbr

I wouldnt bother making a 2 stroke into a supermoto. Well, maybe if you werent going to use it much. You'd spend all your time rebuilding it. Would be a good laugh though. Would be fun to blast off the lights though as they're seriously quick up to their top speed of about 80

RC4

,no probs matey the crf x is a good bike but its set up for enduro use matey usually an 18 inch back wheel,lights,leccy start a tad too heavy to use on a motocross track

rsturbowhite

jacko
