Just wondering if you guys in the states are able to register your ATV's for road (highway) use as we can in europe?

In some states you can, but i think there is only a handful of states at that. One guy in kansas with a raptor got everything to make it street legal, then had it registered as an auto. Everything worked and now he can drive wherever.

sorry for resurecting a dead thread but it caught my eye.... in wyoming you can license a quad for something like 118 bucks a year. i found that out when i went to check out wyotech and saw a raptor going right down grand ave (the main road) in laramie in traffic.... i talked to the guy a little bit later and he said that he was going to wyotech and licensed his quad for road use in wyoming and i don't think he even had to get insurance on it and he didn't need blinkers, just hand signals... i wish i could do that in MN

I live in MN and ride mine to work every day. Im only 15 so i cant drive a car and aint supposed to ride my z400 on the rode since im 15 but the cops dont care. Iv been pulled over like 8 times in the last month - month & a 1/2. They tell me to use hand signals and take the corners slower thats it.

i've been stopped a few times here in my small dot on the minnesota map as well....
actually twice in the same day last week because i decided to make my first actual "ride" of the season a ride to school. which involved gravel roads almost all the way to town, but then to get to school i had to go through town, i got stopped once right in the morning (which i will admit was my fault because i went for a little joy ride into the country on the highway behind the school) and the cop just told me i shouldn't be riding on the roads and to not do it anymore because other people might see me and think that they can to and cause a problem for the cops. then one more time after school on a backstreet in town a cop stopped me and told me that 4-wheelers aren't allowed in town anymore (used to be designated streets)
they didn't really bother me just told me to take it easy and to get out of town....
you can in germany and stuf i bought QUAD magazine and there was a street legal banshee, and a prototype polaris preddy street legal.

i live in MI and it is illegal to ride on the roads anyways, the cops don't care i live out in the country and ride back and forth from farm to farm an they don't even bother me any more. and i am to only 15 so i can not drive. They have tried to pull me over a few times but they never can catch me so i think they just gave up, but the DNR are a different story they will chase you and that sucks!!!!
