Yeah I think it would be decent for the cash, plus 1500 was the opener, CL ppl always ask more then they are willing to take!  ;D

Made the fork sox work like seal savers. I put them on the Beta and really like how well they work. no leaky seals since!

Yeah I just thought it was funny they had them pulled up where they are.   I've always pulled the full length ones down so they cover the whole tube.  I love the things.   Like these on my old WR

Man, I would love to have that Rokon.  But with the new trail system, it really isn't practical.  But I still want one!  And, talk about holding their value.  Can't get better than that.  1969

I had one of those Rokons many moons ago. They were built in Vermont and New Hampshire. They were owned by Brunswick Marine then. Mine was just rear wheel drive.

Slow, very slow. 25 mph, maybe 30 if you were lucky. Mine also had a PVT belt drive instead of a 3 speed like thins one has. It was fun but way too slow.

Should be marketed as the trail bike for the KLR owner!  ;D

Maybe for a Harley rider.  They're use to riding a pig!

Another unprovoked attack.......they're not all bad. That is profiling.

Settle down people. We don't need another Waco at the rally this weekend. Leave your guns and colors at home. :evil
