Best prepper bike ever!

Too bad it doesn't run off turnips and vodka.

Now that's a REAL all-terrain bike!  Move over the Bmw gs1200!
Those tyres look interesting, and how come it's so light?
Thanks for posting this :)

Those bikes are originally from NH. You can store water or fuel in the wheels and only has a top speed of 30MPH. the company is called Rokon.

Yeah, saw one on Pawn Stars once lol.  Though slow, they are really cool and can go anywhere.  However, the wheels on this Russian bike look a little different.  Very odd with the strap-looking bulbous treads.

Yes that KTM 990 is slightly different. Like a ford pinto is different than a Bugatti

This is a Russian kit bike, the Taurus. Rokons are light, but not this light.

When I was in my early 20 I rode XR75's & YZ80's off-road, allot of the wheelie turn maneuvers, picking it up and so on are things that where done daily trail riding with one. Although I can't say I ever used a mini cycle for a ladder  :bowdown:
