You can do it yourself for a lot less, if your bike has a battery / electric start
$55 Front Light ( Just Dirt Bikes Motorcycle Wreckers Secondhand Bikes )
$15 Horn (anybike shop)
$10 Mirror ( Just Dirt Bikes Motorcycle Wreckers Secondhand Bikes )
$25 Brakelight ( Riders Edge )
$15 switches, wire, crimps/connectors (any autoshop like supa-cheap, repco ect)

HI All,

I've just bought a chinese bike (Shineray XY200GY) and it is rec registered here in Victoria.

My bike DOES NOT repeat, DOES NOT have a compliance plate and you cannot get one for it unless you want to spend 100's of $1000's to have it certified by the relevant state authority and/or engineers.

So I started to make some enquiries from VICROADS just to make sure my rec reg was legal. It is legal and this is what I got "from the horses mouth" so to speak.

In order to register a motorcycle with recreational registration in Victoria all your bike needs to have is...

• A working rear stop lamp that comes on when either the front, rear or both brake is applied.
• A working rear tail lamp.
• A chain guard around the front sprocket
• A chain guard covering the top of the chain between the front and rear sprockets.
• One rear vision mirror
• A working headlamp with both high and low beams controlled by handlebar mounted switches for hi/lo & on/off.
• A receipt or proof of purchase with the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on it.

I just got my rego renewal and it is $67. As previously mentioned previously in this thread this has to be the deal of the century considering the TAC insurance and what they cover you for.

I hope this helps dispell some of the "crap" that goes on about rec reg (in Victoria anyway).

Cheers,

Wozz

havent read this whole thing but just an add on to the above the bike must not exceed 95 db in noise, all this info is up on the vicroads website too

im a bit confused so no one under the age of 17 9 months can ride a motorbike legally in a state forest or bush?

So if i was to buy a 250cc chinese bike i could only ride it on private land and tracks? :S

[wozzlegummich]

your right!!

[Jaz808]

Correct creesy, private land and tracks only
There are new laws to for learner riders, i just got a new rego sticker on the mail, it now has the letters L.A.M, learner approved motorcycle, and some info about what bikes are approved
