The off-road lines apply to four-wheel vehicles specifically designed for off-road use at or below 1,000 cc. Line 8703210110 is further limited to units labeled for use by persons 16 years of age and older, while 8703210130 captures other off-road four-wheel vehicles in the same displacement range.
