If I were you I'd buy a megahorn from eBay, gaffa tape the lights up and run it in for its mot. Next step get out there and have some fun!
Enduro bikes are road legal out of the box. This is because a lot of Enduro's will include liaison sections on highways, where your bike must be road legal.
Cross Country bikes are not road legal out of the box. This is because they are intended for competition on closed circuits that do not include use of highways. For this reason they do not need to be road legal.
KTM EXC = Enduro Bike (road legal out of the box)
KTM XC = Cross Country Bike (not road legal out of the box)
CRF 250x is a Cross Country Competition bike that can be modified to make it into a road legal Enduro Bike.
Worth noting that manufacturers now no longer offer some models as Enduro Bikes because they cannot get them to meet stricter emissions regs. They still offer them as Cross Country Competition Bikes, which can be modified to make them road legal.
Nice thing about buying a proper EU Enduro Road Bike is that you know it is intended for the road and has met a lot of regulatory requirements to be legal out of the box, as opposed to a modified competition bike that the anti-public access industry like to complain about.
