Selling Off-Road For On-Road Motorcycles Equals Huge Fines

[speed]

The motorcycle you sell, factory or custom, is only for off-road use. But the buyer states (true or not) that you told him he could ride it on the road. Well, watch out, especially in California. The California Air Resource Board just fined $180,000 2 San Diego motorcycle dealers for sales violations. Because off-highway vehicles, motorcycles, ATV, cars, etc don’t have to meet the same requirements that on-road vehicles, notably for emission standards, it is illegal to sell off-road vehicles to be ridden on the public streets, roads and highways. CARB reminds Dealers that there is not such a thing as a kit conversion making an off-road vehicle an on-road one for registration purpose
