I've been seeing this guy driving around town the past few weeks with a trike in the back of his pickup. Well I pulled up to the local market, and there it was. I went over and parked by him and waited for him to come out. When he came out we got to talking, and he is looking to sell this thing. It is an atc200 not sure what year though, and he wanted me to make him an offer. I was gonna say 150 bucks, but I didn't want to insult him, so I asked, "how does $200 sound?" He went for it! well it runs good, has only one small crack in all the plastic, but needs an intake boot and a rear tire. then we got to talking, and it has a clean and clear title. But get this! It is registered and plated! the only thing is the tags haven't been renewed since 1982 or so. I went to the honda shop, and they said that in 2006, off road vehicles were no longer able to put dual sport kits on it and become street legal. It had to be plated from the factory, or been plated since the new, but had to of been before 2006. Well if this has a clean and clear title, plates, tags, and is registered, it's legal in oregon right? Wrong. I checked out the DMV website, and it stated that it had to be 51 inches wide or wider, and have DOT tires. So I'm thinking, slap some minicooper tires on there, get a huge durablue axle, and renew the tags. I also need a horn, signals, and mirrors. Where can I get this stuff?
Also, this is only a 200, with no susupension, so is there any way to make this as much as a 200x as possible, and still keep it registered, titled, and plated? I'm getting really excited about this. I want to know if this is possible. I would probably swap out engine for a semi-built desert 200x engine so it is a direct bolt in, and will handle pulling hills at 55mph and not blow up. Oh, FYI, I've got a drivers licence, as well as a motorcycle endorsement.
What do you guys think?
