Re: non-road legal to legal...crossers/enduro etc
All I have put above is from personal experience.
The rules for a crosser are different from that for an enduro.
IF you want to put a crosser on the road all I have said above will come into play.
If you are going to put an enduro on the road then the enduro exemption will come into play.
Enduros and crossers are treated very differently when it comes to registering them.
If you get an unregistered enduro, you can talk to the importers (Rob Brown of KTM UK at Brackley was a great help) and see if you can get the homologation documents.
These will help you no end when it comes to fill in the registration docs and also when answering and questions.
EDIT TO ABOVE>
The lone wolf is right BUT registering a crosser is very different to registering an enduro.
Although they look the same and effectivly do the same thing an enduro bike is built as a dual purpose vehicle.
A motocross bike is built as an offroad vehicle.
If you decide to road register a motocross bike you WILL have to make it fully road legal so as to change it from an offroad vehicle to a dual purpose vehicle.
You WILL have to have all the above inspections and Will be pi$$ed about whilst trying to do this.
You will be issued a registration plate number.
Didnt realise that the .Org were so picky...
You will receive a yellow piece of paper with your new tax disc stapled to it in the post and in a registration mark written in a little box ( in both cases where I have registered 1. a crosser and 2. en enduro this was written in black marker ( just to satisfy the .Org...).
This will then be taken to a shop of your choice ( how you get there will probably be different to how I got there so I wont bother typing this bit).
The guy behind the counter will look at it, take it out the back for someone else to look at and then come and talk to you about it ( personal experience).
He will then tell you that you will have to have a full sized plate.
