You're right about Cali not legal. A group I belong to but haven't been to in many months (AZoffroad.com ? ? ?-I really don't remember the forum!) had spoken about how one cannot ride AZ registered ATV's in California as some people spend weekends in AZ/CA border areas and wanted to ride a few miles into communist, er, California territory for 12 packs and such. They were told under no circumstance by the local sheriff.

However, this quad looks street legal for AZ, except for the tires, IMO. AZ takes a little different approach than the socialist approach that some of the states take. For instance, I walked into a MVD office and walked out with my licnese plates, without needing the bike to be visually inspected. (I know, I had a slightly unusual time with Yuma's MVD office if you read my older posts from when the bike was registered). However, by putting the plates on my bike, it is up to me to make sure the bike is truly street legal such as mirrors, headlight, taillight/brake light/license plate light (I think all three, maybe just two, or even just one-don't remember). If I am not mistaken, turn signals might not even be required. However, a cop could pull you over for what they feel is a violation, and it would be up to me to prove that I was legal.

This dealer is out of Phoenix, so I would venture that the bikes are legal for AZ at least. I would also venture that the dealer is fudging the truth as to "most" other places being legal, too. You wouldn't be able to register it in AZ and transfer it to other states, either, if some of you were thinking of doing something like that. It has to do with the DOT laws that other states follow, which AZ does not.
