The Russian Rokon! Here's a link that works...

The quality seems to fall into the "disposable" category of off road motorcycles. I'll bet it could get you into places you couldn't walk out of alive after it quit! Of course a Honda will do that!

Whoa..."Dogs"...that is a fine specimen. Can't you store extra gas in the tires on those things? My Rokon was the 340 Sachs with the Salsberry belt drive. Rope starting that dirt bike was probably the start of the reason I had to have my shoulder rebuilt!!:lol:
