what is registerable in AUZ?

[kiwi kdx]

hey guys, im looking at building a motard to have a play with in the weekend, but still not exactlly sure how things work over here....

ideally what i want to create is a KX500/CR500 in a late modle KXF/CRF frame I know RMX'S and KDX"S are road regable.

or even just a 500 2-smoke would do... Why 2 stroke???

COZ 4 STROKE DIRT BIKES ARE GAY!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE SO GAY, EVEN THE HOMO'S WONT RIDE THEM!!!!!

but my question is can anything with a compliance plate be fully road reg?

im guessing if it has no compliance plate, its a no go for reg at all?

The frame needs a compliance plate.
If you're dead keen on a big bore 2 smoke street motard..........your only real option is buying a CR500E,and motard it.
You'll be doing well if you can find one under 10K,plus the motard kit ontop of that,ends up being an expensive exercise.
The CR500E was basically the last batch of CR500s to be brought into Australia,which Honda complied with a basic lighting kit,so they could sell them,as the 4 strokes killed off the 2 stroke sales. Back in the day,i think Honda were selling them for 8K new!!

Or a cheaper option,would be to find a crappy old KTM380,and motarding it. You could probably get away with that for about 5-6K rego'd if you find bits at the right prices???
A KTM380EXC has a compliance plate,so you could probably pick one up for not much,maybe aslittle as 2.5-3K,then...... a motard set up with wheels,Big front disc,and caliper adaptor,can be had for 1-1.5K,then all your rego costs on top of that?
The 380's were last brought into the country...i think 02/03,so they're getting abit old,and probably need a freshen up???

[BANDITROD]

or you could get yourself a service honda

[nick76]

Can't rego a Service Honda.....

[kiwi kdx]

i see.... i had thought of the 380 as ive seen a few of them around for cheap or i did see an old 550 thats just begging for a transplant....

COZ 4 STROKE DIRT BIKES ARE GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are now officially off my Christmas card list... fuckin Sheep shaggin, Jandal wearin, Bro sayin, Chully Bun havin Motherfucker!

I dunno how they do things in the land of the Wrong White Crowd, but in the 'Strayan bush... DIESELS FUCKING RULE !

Get yourself a ride on a Husaberg FE/FS 650 & then tell us all again about how 4 strokes are no good.

Mumble, mutter... fuckin Kiwis come into MY fuckin Country & try to force their twisted 2 stroke beliefs on us... Fuckers... who the fuck calls a Milk Bar a Dairy anyway... it's a fucking Milk Bar! & don't get me started on that fucking Speights shit... fucking Goat piss...fuckin Sheep fuckers...mumble mutter.

Forget getting a complianced frame and shoe horning a big stroker motor into it too.... The fines and grief for running a non-complianced engine can be rather hefty.....

[Large]

You can get road registerable CR/YZ250 strokers that could be made to fit your 500cc stroker fantasy

[nick76]

Correct....thats why the 500E and 380EXC are pretty much your only real options for a big bore smoker motard.
Unless you go real oldskool.....but i think the prices of those old bikes are going up coz of the VMX guys!

[bladehunter]

With a Haga-san race kit even a humble DR-650 is a fucking weapon, even without suspension mods. If ya wanna know how to hot one up check out the advrider forum.

Yep,the prices are going up.....but I'd still rather a 380,and available for less than that....and motard parts are far more easier to get a hold of
