Need help...

Hi, I am needing some help. I am thinking about taking a Honda CRF450R and turn it into a SuperMoto bike. My concern or question is, what are the Ohio BMV laws about taking a dirt bike and turning it into a street legal bike?

I know Honda makes a CRF450X that is ready to go, but have you seen the weight difference between the two? The 450R is like nearly 50lbs. lighter.

That would be a hoot to ride, wouldn't you say?

Just trying to get some info on whether this is doable.

Thanks in advance.

I'm hoping I remember all this from when I street-registered my XR250.

Take your title to a Clerk of Courts and file an 'affidavit for change of body.' You'll have to 'swear' that it has certain equipment like a mirror, brake light, speedometer, odometer. (I don't remember the whole list.)

Take that paperwork to a Deputy Registrar aka your local BMV office and file for a street title. When that comes in, take your bike and new title back to a Deputy Registrar for plates and registration. You'll need your bike so they can verify the VIN matches the paperwork. Get plate. Mount plate. Hoon.

If you want something you can ride every day I would recommend looking at CarWhore's machine. Any of the 450R bikes are competition machines and won't last long if ridden on the street. A motor rebuild on any current 450R will be in the $1500-$2000 range if you can't do the work yourself.
