I live in CT and have 01 CR125. I'm an emissions inspector and the DMV officers come through every once in a while. I've asked 3 different ones and they all tell me that if its a 2 stroke you have no chance of getting a plate for it. 4 strokes are a different story, but you do need to meet all the requirements... Lights, horn, blinkers, DOT rated tires. It ends up getting expensive. Thats why I bought a trailer and found the state forest in Glastonbury. Dirt roads are still roads, and there a miles and miles of them. If you ever want to meet up, I'll show you the trails, they got some good ones in there.
