I think the only requirement needed is a working set of lights, head/tail/indicators, seatbelts, brakes etc.

No, I don't think you'll need a helmet.

Agreed, you don't need one in those BMW A1 motorbikes so I think you'll be OK.

Lights are at the incorrect height, among a few other things.

I think the indicators need to be clearly visible from the side. Doesn't look like those would be.

Also, I see no sound system so it would fail on that basis too. :twisted:

Thanks.

I have read that before a while back as i wanted to make my quad roadworthy.
Thats where i got the "diff" thing from in the 3rd post of this thread.

the whole design is wrong sight of visibility as well. And if in an acident how it will react.

My Honda CRF230 Offroad bike comes standard with an electric starter at hondat you can buy a roard worthy kit for 3K, as in chain covers mirrors lights flickers break light ect ect...
And even they told me i can buy it but i will have hassles getting it road worth as "The countries system" knows of it as offroad.

Edit its a pitty thoug cus this can not be compared to a quad as its far from a quad.

And the steering is not as direct as a quad is.

My uncle has one and he managed to get it registered for the road with a bunch of hassles. If I see him around I will pop him a couple of questions. Can't promise much though.
