legaly can i ride

Answer 1

a "dirt bike" is made for the MX track not too much for mountain enduro type ryding. they have snappy clutches arent made for slow tight technical stuff, thy stall easy.  Get a more enduro type bike itl have a better gearing ratio for the tight stuff prob even elec start and a light. and suspension will be better for that type of riding, less maintnance than a MX bike (MX change oil every 10hrs) and greater fuel range with bigger tanks usually.

Answer 2

You won't be able to ride anything offroad in a national park. You can also ride almost anywhere where there is crown land but some areas require you to only ride on the trails. Bikes are fun and you can go in many places but if you ride where it is soft, really wet or you are in really rought terrain a quad will get you much farther.
