it’s a Scorpa trial bike. Not street legal, obviously.

Trials riding is amazing. I had already been riding motorcycles for 10 years when I first saw a trials rider and my mind was blown. The skill required for that style of riding is insane.

Fantastic, the closest one can get to a modern TY ... I've got a cousin of it, a Sherco 250, though I guess both were made before the companies merged.

Did you not get the light kit with the bike? Having a trials bike be road legal is handy here

I bought the bike used and with the light kit. But it was never street legal and it doesn’t have papers. So I cannot just slap the light kit on it to make it legal here.

Where is here? Depending on where you are at there could be loop holes.

Ah ok, here we just have to pass a roadworthiness test, have proof taxes were paid when it was new, and pay an admin fee. That being said, this is the home of trials and enduro so of course it's easy, lol
