You need to pick it up and bring it back to RC as give us a chance to flog it for 15 minutes ....  Sweet

an interesting bike for sure.  I'd be curious of how it feels lugging along up a track in the hills.  Only a tad more than a new AT DCT.

That is super cool.  I've never seen one owned privately.

You'd be the coolest guy around at all the adventure rallies.

But I thought Dave might spring for it

pretty cool for sure, but I can't help but think it is amazingly gutless? I would like to find out for myself though.

Here is an old video on the manufacturing process.




There was an updated version, the M1030-M2, that never went into production (as far as I know).

I have to confess to early (ten years ago) DDSR riders that were impress with my KLR650 riding abilities that my bike was not stock. Some how I found a custom made rear shock and other suspension mods from one of these military bikes and it really improves the big pigs' handling. Just ask sprout who always looks forward to riding my KLR over the super pig Honda AT he rides.
Happy New Years everybody - really looking forward to a healthy 2019.

A couple years ago Amsoil had one at their tent during sturgis.
