After reading some of the comments on this subject a lot of people are missing the point. To my understanding of the Rec Rego system in Vic, it is to aid people that want ride dirt bikes only for pleasure not to commute and as State and Federal parks and forests are classed as public land and come under the same road rules as any public road. The concept is that you don’t have to have full rego if you only ride on weekends etc; ergo the bike should be able to be rego-ed as normal with the exception of a few item not required for bush riding RH mirror, blinkers etc; this reduces the cost of rego by about 75%, the cost is the same for a 50cc or a 1200cc it doesn’t matter as long as the bike is ADR compliant.
To my knowledge MX and pit bikes etc; are not ADR compliant and therefor should only be ridden on private property. I hope that if NSW gov brings in a rec rego system it is similar to Vic but I truly don’t think it happen as I think the gov will make that complicated it want be worth while. Any how good luck to all as living in Mexico does have some advantages even if you don’t live the Melbourne area.

You are wrong about MX bikes, I was ridng in VIC a couple of months ago with a bloke on a brand new KTM 350 MX bike and the shop he bought it from put a head light and tail light on it for him and he was good to go with Rec Rego
There are heaps of guys with 250 2 stroke MX bikes with Rec Rego, they love the light weight.
