Hi everyone! My dad and grandad’s 1973 Yamaha RD 250 has been sitting unused in the back of my parents’ garage for nearly 40 years now. My boyfriend can’t wait to get it up and running and back on the road when we head back to NJ for a visit next month. My dad is thrilled that someone wants to resuscitate his old baby and give it some TLC but doesn’t know what the next steps are bureaucratically speaking. I’ve been out of the US for nearly 20 years and have no idea about current environmental regulations and inspections for older vehicles (things have become pretty strict here in Italy regarding emissions and older vehicles).
Would any of you NJ residents be able to clue us in on what we will have to do to make the bike legal to use on the streets once it’s running again? Do we have to register it as a historical vehicle?
Any and all input most appreciated!
