[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2761143, member: 29323"] I looked at the Rokon, but it didn't have suspension. It looks the same as the 1950 model. I ended up with a Chinese minibike called the Trailmaster MB 200. Before Bidenflation it was $1000. Even with front and rear suspension and ATV tires, it can be a rough ride. I can't imagine what it would be like without suspension. One plus is that on a two track road you can avoid most of the rocks. I've only found one road I couldn't go up. Mixed sand and rock and and steep enough I worried about going over backwards. I put a much larger sproket on it which gave it pretty good climbing power. My biggest complaint is the noise. It is a lawn mower engine with a lawn mower muffler.. I plan to modify that. On a fairly smooth two track it is a blast to ride. On a steep rocky hill, not so much, but much better than walking. It had a fake gas tank to make it look like a motorcycle, so I took it off and made a rack in front of me to hold my pack. I made a spare gas can out of an old fire extinguisher, but I've never needed it. Lot of videos on You Tube to show you the modifications you can make. Of course I added a scabbard for my rifle or shotgun. Also LED lights instead of the big headlight. I added storage boxes, and better mud flaps. It isn't fast, but if you're hunting, you don't want fast. Top end with the big sprocket is 25 mph. If you're hunting high altitude (10,000 or up) you'd want to change the jet in the carburator. It works at 10,000, but with a noticable loss of power. It is rated for 200 lbs, so it wouldn't work for a big guy. [/QUOTE]
