So i have a 2009 KX250F that i use to ride tracks and trails every weekend and more during summer break. With the gas prices already going way up I can hardly afford paying for gas for my gas-chugging jeep wrangler so my parents decided i might be able to license it. Though it wouldnt really save me anything it would be fun. The saving gas is more of an excuse to pull the trigger than anything, that and it would be hella fun to zip around on my mx to school and lunch.
So a few questions
Would it be a good idea to get it street legal (i would have different sets of wheels and tires so the swap would be easier) or should i just save up (i have about 1300 i could spend right now) and buy a bike for it off c list or something?
If i did decide to license it, is there a kit (cant find one) that would help me achieve it? I would like blinkers but i need a tail light, headlight, new set of street tires/wheels with sprocket/disc brake and a mirror.
And will my FMF powercore 4 be quite enough if you have any idea?
Last one, I feel like there would be a tail light/license plate holder that i could bolt on to my rear fender. If there is one lemme know!
Thanks!
Edit: I would be using it from school and back (its a mile away) and just around so not any long trips, max speed would be 50ish so i dont need a huge bike or anything. I also am not worried about how comfy it is either. There wont be any highway either i might be looking into a street bike if they were as maneuverable as a dirt bike because the way the people drive around me is ridiculous. Ive seen people smoking, drinking coffee, reading, and driving all at the same time before and just today i saw a firetruck that went to do a U-turn in one of those emergency access turn around on the highway and got rear-ended by not one, not two, but three idiots.
