Is it a 2-stroke? If so, probably not. If not, you should be able to relatively easily. I've seen a lot of ex-dirt bikes turned into street legal supermoto bikes. You will need: lights, blinkers, horn, mirror, DOT approved tires, liscense plate, etc

You might be able to get away with it depending on what inspection station you go to but I'm pretty sure 2 strokes are not allowed on the road b/c of emissions..... Although I seem to remember some street bikes from the early 80's that were 2 strokes..... Might want to go talk to your local dealer and/or inspection station
