The true beauty of the TE250/450/510 is that they are real live dirt bikes that just happen to have a plate. And they are great at being just that. Every one that has ridden my 250 loves it. Even...

06' was the first year that the 250's, 450's, and 510's were street legal from the factory. If you find an earlier model that was not designated by the CA DMV as being street legal be wary of it. ...
