"dedicated offroad trail vehicle"
does this mean no title?

Tripod · 02-13-2011, 09:22 AM

There is a clear title...as stated in the description at the top

Dedicated means it was built purpose specific. It can drive on the road with no problem (had it up to 70) but would need some modifications to make it street legal (add blinkers and an ebrake - I 'think' that's the only thing it's missing).

AxleinRI · 02-13-2011, 11:41 AM

Ok, I didn't see where it said title, thanks!
