This is the first-ever street legal 450 from a Japanese brand. Do you know what that means for the sport? What the future holds for all you brap-happy hooligans out there riding dirt bikes on the street? Can you tell we’re excited?
You think it’s cool to rip around town on a four-wheeler? Want to go on a long trip exploring the woods and roads on an ATV? Think it’s cool to ride these things on public roads? Well so do we. But Johnny Law doesn’t. That’s why you need to have a street legal ATV to do it with!
Tired of changing tubes? Are wire spoke supermoto wheels not your thing? You think they’re just for getting freak nasty in the mud, and you wouldn’t be caught dead wearing them on the street? Or do you just want some sweet blue wheels to match your bar ends and levers? Say no more.
It’s true. It is possible to modify your UTV to make it street legal, but it isn’t going to be easy. Legalizing a side-by-side is as complicated as registering a dirt bike, or even more so. To be street legal, a UTV must meet most of the same safety standards as a car, and there are several modifications that you will have to make to your stock side-by-side. Just don’t worry about the paperwork. Dirt Legal is ready and willing to take care of everything.

In 2015 a leading news article boldly claimed that “the future of electric vehicles is golf carts, not Tesla.” While that might sound like a headline from The Onion, it was actually published by none other than the Harvard Business Review. In the following years we’ve seen street legal golf carts skyrocket in popularity, and subgenres like lifted golf carts have taken off in ways nobody predicted. Except Guy Fieri.
