Tokyo metropolitan Government and Japan Roadway ministry have approved all ATV's here for road use as long as they meet the inspection requirments. IE must have headlight, brake lights, and turn signals.
Then pay your tax and your on the road....any ATV! Banshee's and Raptor's...whatever!! And here is the kicker....NO HELMETS REQUIRED!

So far a bunch of shops are selling small ATV's due to import cost. But next year I am wanting to import a "real" ATV here. You guys got any suggestions?!

 

rapter 660

 

660? old news!

The new 700 raptor is the beast!!! Fuel injected, and supposively faster than the YFZ450!

 

Banshee .. strait nasty on a rd with some pipes

Lucky u guys.. we barely have any trails left let alone ever gettin near street legal

 

Go Fast? 250R

 

get a 86 Suzuki Quadsport 230.

 

I would have to agree. A built banchee with ext. a-arms and axel :YEAH

 

BANSHEE all the way it seems like the only thing they do good is haul a$$

 

Banshee or 250R. yall are so lucky...

 

ATVs are street legal? Dang, yet another reason to move to Japan!
If you put a lot of miles on your dont want a Banshee. Very fast but not dependable.
Go for a YFZ 450 or a Raptor 700R.
Cap'n

 

offishal link to the japanese vehicle ministry or antyting inthe news about it?

 

hey guys you can make atvs street legal at least in ny, check out http://littlefootconversions.com/index.htm or google it you will see some talk about it im sure though in ny the second you did make one street legal the cops would harrass you all the time but hey it would be fun, and actually for you guys from ny whitesboro or whitestown police have an atv you see sometimes in the village little lights on it and everything so im not moving to japan for that, and the no helmet thing is nice but if im doing 55 i think i might want a helmet.

 

banshee would eb agy .2 stroke.who the **** is gona mix there ags evrytime they wana go out for a ride......any 4 stroke would be economically good.........**** 250 to 700.id rather have somethign smaller.those 700s are huge......and ull have jus as much fun on a 450...660....predator 500 whatevr the ****....

wasnt worth writing once let alone twice

diff strokes for diff folks

who wants to go 20 teeth up on a rear sprocket and the try to drive it on the freeway

 

you know you're NOT suppose to eat the paint chips right?

 

yeah buts whos talking highway use im talking about city streets and twisty a$$ roads and besides if your worried about longevity of the motor then the 2 stoke would be the way to go cuz it only takes 30 mins to rebuild one as long as you got a spare jug and given that your main bearings dont crap out on ya

 

and




2storkes are gaylol

 

If you think the 700s are huge you obviously havent ridden one. They only weigh about 400 pounds (dry weight) and if you cant handle something that only weighs 400 pounds (Im used to riding 500 pound snowmobiles and 700 pound Polaris utility quads) perhaps you should stick to an 80.
All I can say is this is yet another reason why Japan is soooo awsome. Ive always wanted to visit Japan someday and tearing up the streets on a street legal YFZ 450 would be pretty darned cool.
