By the way that is someone elses yellow hummer , mine is maroon . Just wondering if there is any connection between extreme off road bikers and h2 owners.

I think PhilD has one. I can't seem to find the thread on it.

Cool Bike...Looks like lots of fun!

May trade in one of my ATV's for something like that!

They are abour $5200 I been looking at them for a few months, might have to get one in the spring. The only downside is they are only like 6 HP and about 20 MPH

Ric , yes there around $5000. from Rokon , they are built in Rochester, New Hampshire. They have changed hands a bunch of times and havent changed much since the 60's. I have a small company & we are starting to build a two wheel drive also . It will compete with Rokon , some of our features that make it better are stainless steel frame, hydraulic brakes, lighter in weight , less moving parts, track kit to replace tires in winter. They are going to be availabe around June. They will sell for about $4000 with the tires. Anyways, i use my rokon to cruise woodlots, land tracts, It will go about anywhere you point it , if you can stay on.

I have a feeling this is going to get ugly .

I prefer this. It is able tackle most everything I've taken it through. The key is momentum and lots of throttle.

It seems to me that a quad makes more sense for really nasty mud, hunting, rock crawling etc. Two wheel drive would be interesting. I think some of the KTM prototypes have it. What exactly is the Rokon designed for?

The rokons are used for alot of different applications . I think it works best for getting to remote spots that have no access. They are pretty slow from walking speed to 30mph. . It's just a niche market , I've read that they build about 300 a year. They're not for everyone, but work good for me exploring land for timber where there are no trails. I was just curious if any h2 offroaders had one.

Yes , they can go about anywhere that you can hang on. The rokons are still made today in New Hampshire. The bike on the left is a Trail Partner and they are 2x2 or 3x3. I have some of the only ones left in existence and am having them reproduced at a fabrication shop to sell. Just as a hobby.

They sound like they were a good endurance bike , the people that owned them really bragged them up. Are you still in New England. I'm in Maine. Doug
