Primarily they are advice which reflects the state the road is usually in.
At the very least you look stupid to who ever comes along to pull you out :)
I don't think insurance would be too much of a problem, getting a ticket by a
cop "disobeying a sign" or similar might happen but I've never heard of anyone
getting one.

BMW road/off road bikes work well, road bikes don't work very well on anything
but sealed roads, and then you have trail/ag/4 wheel bikes all would go on
these roads no problem.
The question is, what sort of motorcycle are you asking about?

I'm not sure which is better from a consistency point of view, however
4wd_only=yes/recommended/no is already in use.
