I had a 1976 Yamaha DT250 and a 1974 Suzuki TS-185 as dirtbikes a few years back and they were both street legal back in the day (I had all the lights and stuff removed though so wasn't gonna go through the process of registering either for the road). My neighbor had a '76 TS-185 registered though, kinda wanted to buy it to cruise around locally and annoy the crappy newer neighbors.
