Would a motorized bike be as street legal as a regular BIKE?

Do you need a motorcycle license to drive a street legal dirt bike?

• In Illinois do you need any specific license (like a motorcycle license) to drive a street legal dirt bike, and how much a year does insurance usually cost for a street legal dirt bike

• Answer:

  Anything "street legal" and larger than 49cc, you need a license to operate on public streets legally. Yes, cops do pull and check for that kind of stuff too. Insurance is impossible to even guess at because it depends on Your credit rating, driving record, "stability" score (something calculated in-house by the insurance companies), etc... Thankfully, dual-sports tend to be the cheapest bikes to insurance because they're designed to be crashed and don't have expensive body panels/chrome/tanks/etc... Just check the online quote generators (Progressive, Dairyland, etc...)
