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.
Are you kidding? With all the heavy traffic we have already, that is all we would need for a quad to be added to the traffic here in California.:S
