seriously, with all the mud and snow you guys been having out in the hills this year, no one else thinks these 2wd hacks look cool?

they are a little high on maintenence but they have a 2yr unlimited mileage warranty which should cover you till most of the kinks are worked out.

a copy of 1938 bmw technology built in russia for the last 50+ years.  what's not to like?

I'd rather have a KLR side car rig I think.   1987 technology instead of 1947 :)

Cool you tube vids!

That bike would be the perfect winter ride, but I hear they are not reliable and very expensive. It would probably be easier to just ride the ATV when it snows. I'm usually in the plow truck when it snows anyway.

actually, it's 1938 tech.  if it weren't for the 2wd and reverse, they wouldn't interest me near as much.  i do like retro though.
