Nice to see some Maicos in action. That's a rare Montesa as well. ;D

Man, I would LOVE to ride my MX125/175 there! Grassy Loam Rules and not a double as far as the eyes can see! Heaven!

That's some beautiful natural terrain. I wish we had that last weekend.

This was a season ending fun event for us

That Rokon is powered by a 340cc Sachs engine. ;D

I didn't think they were real! Only ever seen pictures and didn't think any were ever sold, well not many anyway. Auto gearbox?

The Rokon used a Sachs snowmobile racing engine and a Salisbury CVT belt transmission. Production numbers for all bikes were huge in the 70's so even a micro manufacturer like Rokon has figures that look good nowadays. If you keep a close eye on the U.S. Ebay site one usually is offered for sale each month. The Rokon's were quite successful in ISDT competition and the company is still in business manufacturing a 2WD extreme terrain motorcycle.

Rokon in action at about the 2:20 mark.
