Not sure if I have ever seen that, but we would still need a way of
expressing that.

Correct, you may have to have a "tag" for your OHV, even if you don't have
a license for it (at least not the type you get for your regular highway
legal vehicle). In fact, many of these vehicles cannot be licensed for
highway use as the modifications that have been done to them render them
non highway legal.

I am not sure. I have seen cases where they only allow motorcycles, only
allow motorcycles and ATVs (less than 50 inches), only allow legal licensed
highway vehicles, and only allow legal licensed highway vehicles and
motorcycles ("no ATVs").

Maybe. So under this system, if the FS says ATV=yes, OHV_gt_50in=no, in
OSM we would tag atv=yes, maxwidth=1.27 (I think that is the metric
equivalent).
