Hi,
im sure this has been asked a million times , but.
do I need a road registered bike to ride these tracks?
my son and I have KTM dirt bikes that we would like to ride on.
is this possible? legal?
any advise would be welcome.March 6, 2017 at 4:50 pm #17091Most if not all these tracks are public roads, ergo, yes, a bike needs to be road registered. Dirt bikes would be used on farm trails, farm adventure rides etc.
The definition of a road is actually quite broad, essentially where any member of public has access, so includes beaches etc.
March 6, 2017 at 8:37 pm #17093As Gremlin said, 99% of the tracks on here are public roads so bikes need to be road legal.
Where are you located?
The Pureora Forest – The Block track leads to a free 4wd area that would be suitable for dirt bikes.

We are in Auckland and would welcome any other suggestions for legal off road riding with an unregistered bike.
My son enjoys the gravel roads and I would be keen to check a few out.March 7, 2017 at 10:03 pm #17109The Sandpit, off Rimmer Road is the most easily accessible off road site. Lots of sand tracks as the name implies. I found them very hard to communicate with, best just rock up and have a crack.
