Somehow I feel that you haven’t been to Americas industrial wastelands.
I can’t say I have, but I’ve seen enough UTVs and unregistered/unplated motorbikes and dirtbikes on public rural roads. Quite frankly, as a matter of public policy, it seems preferable for someone with a general disrespect for laws and regulations to ride an unregistered bike – of any description – unlawfully than to drive a 2 ton automobile unlawfully. The latter causes a great deal more trouble when things go wrong, and they often do.
But to the point at hand, legality isn’t a selling point for this particular group of clientele. Instead, that would be whatever is common locally. If everyone else rides dirt bikes to the corner store, then following suit is the best way to blend in, bench warrants and DUIs be darned. They also tend to be cheaper if they’re so common in one’s area.
