What amazes me at least here in Illinois is that no ATV,UTV or SXS is street legal. Some small tows do allow minimal use of them but that is few and far between. The state will not allow the use on them on public roads anyplace in the state. How ever you are required to title, register and insure them. You can’t drive your $10,00, $15,000 or $25,000 machine with power steering, disk brakes, lights, horn, and even seat belts on the street. However you can get a plate for a $600.00 Chinese scooter and drive it where ever you want.
Why are Polaris and the other manufacturers not lobbying the states for street legal? Could you imagine the increase in sales if it was to happen. The golf cart industry is all over it. I don’t buy the argument they are designed for use only off road. The States that do allow them don’t seem to have a problem with safety of the machine it self.
Anyone else have a problem with this?
