Some ATV rules Help
A little off topic here but I was wondering if anyone has heard that if you have your licensed ATV for public roads in your state, that they may not be honoring them in other states. Currently, I knew...

modern dirt bikes come in three categories:
MX - all 4 strokes now but no charging coils to power lights or charge batteries
Offroad - either 2 or 4 stroke, most have basic lights, no blinkers/horn, etc.
Dual Sport - Same as Offroad but have lghts, blinkers, etc and are typically plated from the factory.
Some states (AZ) allow you to plate anything, it's up to you to make sure it complies with the MV code. CA doesn't allow any retrofitted bikes to be plated since 2003.
So your question on KTM Enduro is answered by "it depends"
I have no comment on SxS except in CA it's NO WAY!
I paid a guy years ago to plate my WR. It was a great solution to a temporary problem (more drivers than vehicles in our household). It's been a nightmare with the DMV ever since though. The DMV sees that it's plated, so they want insurance for it (fine with me). My insurer knows that it was a dirt bike and issues me off-road insurance, which doesn't link with the DMV's network.
For years I was able to get my insurance to email me one of those temporary proof of insurance statements to take into the DMV, but they finally quit accepting them. For the past two years I've played dumb and paid the tags, but the DMV sends me a nastygram telling me not to drive it. So it's paid for (yes, they cash the checks) and I carry the letter from my insurance, but I haven't had a new registration sticker since then.
We don't ride the WR that much anymore anyway, but I wish I could straighten this out and get the reg stickers so we don't have to sweat it.
