Reciprocity applies to licensing, registration, and insurance.
HOWEVER, just because Montana says my ATVs are street legal, and gives me license plates for them, does NOT mean that I can drive them in, let's say, Nevada, where I have been told that only side-by-side UTVs can be street legal.
In Montana a truck/trailer/trailer combination can be 75 feet long, and the first trailer does not have to be a fifth wheel hitch, but that does NOT mean I can drive that combination to Spokane! Truck/trailer/trailer/trailer combinations are not legal in Montana.
In Montana, the tires can stick out beyond the fender flares, but in Moab, Utah, I would get a ticket. I knew a guy it happened to!
Now there's something I never did get a good answer to. Some states do allow several types of off road vehicles to be registered for street use. For example quads like you mentioned, and I know in Arizona you can make sand rails street legal. California, as far as I know, you can't make those street legal. But I've never come across a street legal in AZ sand rail that was in California so the issue never came up.
