I had a Honda Fat Cat back in the 80s that could go just about anywhere. The bike was heavy as hell but a whole lot of fun.

I didn’t see it say it was military grade.

MinxyJinx
If by Military grade you mean ridiculously expensive but cheaply made and components cost an arm and a leg to replace. Then yes.
qwerty0o
Don’t forget the camo paint job.
hertta
Nah. Military grade usually means either of two things. Cheapest most effective (durability > comfort, bulk) or expensive and "the best".

Haha have you ever tried to lift a rokon? They are not the same, I have two at work right now.
To the guy who replied and deleted his comment, thank you lol that is indeed double the weight not thr same.
whhy
Which is what they cost, $7-9K.
yeah, for $7-8k ... I'd rather pick up a used TW200 or 2.
rodrigosanchez
yea, they priced themselves out of being relevant now. If you want one, you buy two so you & wife can ride. $16k added to my jeep is better.
ArtOzz
Yeah, because if it was available here, cunts would be doing wheelies in packed rush hour traffic on the things.
chrismofer
yeah, me. can't wait for availability!
AlmightyThor117
Also driving them through buildings just to drive them up staircases

Nah this shit wouldnt be road legal in most states. In other words theyd be doing it but getting arrested for it so /shrug
I imagine this is happening in Russia too.

They've been around for years. Look up toatgoats.. my uncle has had one since like the 70s

Same type of bike came out in the late 60's called a rokon powered by a chrysler 2stroke motor it featured two wheel drive operation
Goboings
Wasn't there something like that on pawn stars
RebelSkull
I saw that thing in the back of every field and stream magazine that I pilfered from my dad. Looked hella fun
OverGrownEwok
I grew up with a rokon. It was so much damn fun. If you could hold on, it would climb almost anything.
my brother and I both still have ours late uncle used them to build trails for the forest service mostly in pnw lots of fun
I grew up in Oregon, 4 wheelers just can't handle the terrain like a rokon can. We used ours for dragging logs and elk out of canyons.
I had one of those motherfuckers! What a great ride. It had 3/8in hex bits for studs. Could climb anything you could balance on.

8000$ for 208cc snowblower engine!!?
RedIronCrown
Their production volume is pretty small, not much economy of scale.
Fair enough, but is there any machining, composite frame or complex welded parts to justify the price? Looks like a regular frame to me.
Frame is just tube steel, simple and robust. The only somewhat exotic parts are the wheels, which are Al and double as tanks/floats. /1
GrosseChung
50kg so you can lift- hold up there buddy
rile
My bike is 275kg, I can lift it solo. Not as in put it up on the shelf, but stand it up from falling down ...
Lifeon18wheels
I envy you, mine is over 450 kilos and is an absolute bitch to pick up, especially with an injured leg.
RF2019
can you not ? lol
BobTheSwede
They say on their web page, it weighs 89kg!
SwadeWilson
So most ppl can lift
ServantOfTheGodEmperorOfUsersub
It depends a lot on what you consider “lifting”.
Rentta
I mean that's lighter than most mopeds and those are easy enough to lift even for 14yo / 58kg human (speaking from experience).
TheOneFreiman
Do you not lift, bro?
Yea but he skipped the leg day ...
verganas
Exactly right.... i can barely lift my shopping bags
SchwiftyGameOnPoint
You mean you don't carry all 50 bags in from the car at once?
MeAndJulio
Then you probably don't need to go dirt biking

SilentScreamsX
I think it's a claim based on the average person, not petite women.

The average Russian redneck. Hold my vodka and watch this.
What?
TheCaptain00
Thats like, ~110 lbs. Thats great for a motorbike. Can you not hoist ~110 pounds if you need to?
I can easily do so, I was just making a joke. But why did you describe someone who couldn’t do such a thing as a “petite girl”?
esoh08
Probably because if she wasn't petite she'd be able to lift it...??
ASlightlyRelevantFact
Still not as heavy as your mom
God I hope your right, she would be anorexic otherwise.
