Can you make (or is it already) a 1989 xr250 street legal? Thanks?

Question

There is one for sale locally and if I can I would like to buy it and make it street legal.

Answer 1

This is just a suggestion, I'm not an expert on the models but I don't believe the cr250 was intended to be used as an enduro in that year up until recently actually.  It is definately

not worth converting a bike over that was not intened to be

used on the road. I don't even think motor vechicles or the insurance company would let you register or insure it..

There are plenty of dual-purpose bikes out there for every year for the past " let's say forty years"  

So to answer you here. I don't think it's gonna be the right choice for you if you intend to ride on the road..

Check out some pics of the cr250  below ...also try ebay , which is a great place to view bikes according to the category of Dual Purpose.

Start with ebay motors,  then motorcycles, then search by type, year etc...

Hope this helps a bit....  ( good luck when you are ready, and don't forget to start with a motorcycle license.....
