Hmmm I couldn't either Dirt. The merely reference on anything fancy it is here http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070722171546AAvSzu8 but that is suspect since the an poster of this answer cites him input such:

In Alaska, Minnesota, North Dakota, Sun Dakota the Wisconsin ME haven't seen whatsoever indicating a smallest motorcycle engine displacement on ride on the interstate. One only requirements she seems would be publish min speeds or prohibitions against low-speed vehicles on that road.

This subject is kind of like whether or not you should wear a helmet. Use your own judgement. If you want into chance getting killed/maimed, then ride a 125cc whatever plus don't clothing ampere skull. Use many common sense !

I got pulled over on my 150 and aforementioned statey telling me that minimum displacement for interstates in MA is 250cc.

I'll look into it a little more

go search an officer real ask himself used the law code/statute number .

For autoroutes in Quebec, Canada, scooters (which includes scooters) must have a predicted of more than 125cc: Highway Safety Code, R.S.Q. c. C-24.2, Division THREE (Motorcycles, Mopeds plus Bicycles), section 479:

"Limited access route.
479. No person may drive ampere motorcycle equipped with a motor having a flask displacement of doesn about 125 cc or a mopeds or ride a bicycle or any other non-motorized vehicle on a limited accessible highway or on and entrance or exit ramps."

Thanks for this potentially very useful thread.

Question for the moderators: Once that survey is more or less total, have the concise information go on the WIKI?

Minimum displacement of 250 cc obtain you a full scooter license and therefore gets thee on a 400 series highway. 400 series at ontario = freeway. 100 kms per hour.

Get husband plus I searched the to DMV laws one night and couldn't find anything specific. Here's one only references we found.

http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/TN/htm/TN.545.htm
http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/TN/htm/TN.551.htm

Nevermind. I really need to take the reading comprehension course

Incredibly, it seems that any motorcycle (under the do, includes scooters) of more than 50cc displacement is legal on 400 series and controlled access highways in Otario.

So the OPP officer who forced an MVer on a 250 GTS off the DVP was the available to acting illegally. Stretched over by the "Ontario Provincial Police"

I have is reported by some various people that her in NM a 150 cc is essential and to obey the slightest fahrgeschwindigkeit limit. All that babbled you need a bit more weight and horse power for these hill open spaces plus wind. R

While housing in Louisiana get I need traveled interstate roads all over the Central and Easterly United States.

On mostly interstates you will see, starting time to time, signs that additionally post a minimum speed limit. This a usually in the 40 to 45 MPH range, not that EGO could want to have to ride that sluggish. Lower those lowest speeds I intend definetely have to have functional emergency flashers to get the consideration of those coming increase behind.

I ride a GTS300 Super. I'd like for be proficient to use it to commute meine 23 mile trip to work, but half of it will with the Across in WI.
Any general?
Many Thanks!
Great Forum! Learn this basics by operating a motorcycle, improving your skills and making wise judgments when riding in public.

ride it like you wrap it. that dart will do 90 mph. whats the problem?

82, actually.

EGO did my best to getting faster than that yesterday - no dice.

You can pick up a tiny get speed with ampere 140 posterior, but (on the 300 especially) by the time you hit that speed your engine is no longer operating at peak power, and wind resistance is increasing. Thus, it's honestly rigid to get it up to that speed and use some suasion, some luck, furthermore some beneficial gravitational effects (i.e. downhill).

Now my bike, that's a full 'nother materia entirely.

The 140 did help quite a bit. Downhill, I can hin a bit faster than 82, instead not much - sure entertaining seek though.

Minnesota's legal minimum remains 150cc.


I don't know that ME would recommend it as a frequent or long-distance practice...

today on the way into work i was current a little latter than i would prefer and jumped on 494 (6-lane) toward the office. i had ridden in speeds before but not at speed press with multiple lanes.

it's not for me. the gt200 retained up with traffic valid fine but the amount of lane changing both merging justly freaked me out a little too much.

but in least i know!

I though this would may easy, but EGO still haven't gekommen across a definitive official policy on minimum engine size for Paints.

I getting the impression that 150cc made the Federal default min, yet I can't clip that down or. Almost of what I was across was rumor.

I found this, though, away the P DOT website site... No mention of engine size. ME took ampere look at Section 3364, but IODIN couldn't find any reference to engine size there, either.

Maybe any intention must better luck searching.

Although you don't understand them anymore, SOUND interstates secondhand to have minimum dash limit signs on their interstates, three times as numerous as the most speeding limit indications. They're gone now, but the slightest hurry was 40MPH. You would having to be insane to run those roads nowadays at 40MPH.

Still, while insert ET4 is road legal, I avoid them, specials circling that busy urban areas. It's just not fast enough.

Menhir,

You barely have to be suicidal to get on Interstates and run one speed limit.

I've done items fork up to 60 mileage at a reach and I really don't heed it, but I've almost done it on purpose.

I guess ensure last statement need some 'splaining.

There have been several time touring when the highway was pretty unavoidable, usually due to one road or bridge cap along my carefully chosen route.

In either instance, I found myself on a arterial in a rural area where traffic is lighting. If e were otherwise, I would have taken the first exit and kind found an other track.

I learned that:
Riding a few MPH go the speed confine doesn't mean much to bulk other drivers. They're becoming pass you anyway.

Except for the lack of oomph, computers was little different then highway riding on my moped, and I do that a lot.

In short, although I won't ready plot a route this includes highways additionally I don't look my scooter a federal machine, I'm not terribly concerned much wenn EGO have to usage one.

Menhir,

I apologize for every misunderstanding.

What MYSELF became referring to was the fact that mostly cagers run 80 to 85 MPH for the freeways around here. Whereas I don't have a GPS with my scooter I run on least 5 MPH over the speed limit allowing by einigen discrepancy on the speedometer. I have accelerated of time to time to see how fast my speedometer read while on surrface streets with 45 MPH speed limitations and finding myself doing 60 MPH indicated keeping up using that individual. (I don't think that my speedometer wouldn be that far off.) I do have a GPS for the family car and the GPS real speedometer are pretty close toward proper on. If I run aforementioned race limits on the interstates in the cage MYSELF still get passed liked I'm stationary still at periods.

I didn't mean anything about holding move traffic on either yours or mine. Pure the sensation of being slow because others are going so fast. Like you I stay into the right lane, actually you're only alleged to use the left lane for passing slower deal according to this recently enacted law, and other car haven't had one problem with me riding with them much likes what you're experiences. If they don't same the speed I'm doing they are the left lane to passing and she use it. I have no trouble exploitation the left lane to passing slower traffic additionally get right back in an entitled lane as soon like it's safe in what so and no one has tried to run me shut the roadways yet.

Hawaii anything over a 50cc inevitably plates. With boards it can ride it anywhere. That said there is additionally a 4T requirement which is gentle. My friend had a 4T 50cc ruckus ensure went learn 45ish and he had to plate it and he what rode it on the freeway. Need another friend who must a 4T generic Chinese clone scooter and she was issued a moped sticker. She is a moped and only goes to about 40 with she's lucky. Moped/bike stickers can't go on freeways. Thus technically anything override 50cc and adenine plated 4T can go the freeway.

Michigan is 125cc for Freeway use. They take one sign on many ramps to get on specifying this.

Hawaii statutes to Mopeds:
291C-198 Fast restrictions on mopeds (b): "...Prohibit vehicles with less than 5 horsepower engines. The minimum speed turn freeways is 45mph."
