ive been toying with the idea of getting a dirt bike for up at the cottage, only problem is there is a no atv/dirt bike bylaw in wmu53a so i would need some sort of street legal ability. its all dirt roads with small sections of pavement here and there but not much....full knobby tires will do the trick.
last summer my buddy brought up a honda 150 and a KTM 560 (i think it was a 560 or 530...someting like that) the KTM is 100% street legal, the honda not so much.
after riding both the KTM felt a little big and heavy and the honda felt like a mini bike.
so, what bikes should i be looking at, what does it take to have plates so i wont get a ticket going to and from the trails, and what do i need for insurance if anything? i really dont want insurance on it if i can avoid it legally... not worried about theft, my cottage has a monitored alarm on it and the garage.
for the amount im going to have time to ride the thing im trying to get something used...which is also why i want to keep it on the cheaper end... ill probably use it 3x a summer.
