This thing is sweet! Hard to imagine they would make it though. Including kickstands on both sides. Not sure how often that would get used but I can recall at least twice I wished the stand was on the other side.

Yikes!

Looks like a Rukus humped a jumbo box of Legos.

That can't be a serious effort.

How is it better than a dual sport? Only reason to buy this that I can think of is to be different.

Looks like an attempt to update the old Rokon off-road bike concept. I kinda like it.

T-dub on steriods? I agree, yellow doesn't cut it, flat olive drab or various subdued earth tones would be better. Super quiet exhaust, super low gearing and 2wd? Sign me up....

I like it. Bulit in generator, fat tires, big racks, a shovel...

Looks like it needs a bigger tank and some OD paint.

I was thinking Rokon too... but it's only got half the number of "driving wheels." ; )

Looks to have about the same suspension travel as a Nightster.

I'll pass.

250 cc's..... vs 802 and 2WD....Ural wins.
but at the price of a 250.... It could be a nice stable mate down the road
(for those single track, lighter pack days)

Might make a nice little hit and run bike in rough territory, if it had better suspension.

the Moegi is dying for dropped bars, single seat and a more board track look and feel to it.

Its like the OSSA Pioneers they were Trail bikes not racers Getting there and back was the intent not Blasting through the woods
Honda had Trail 90s with Dual range trannys extra fuel tanks etc
OSSA Pioneers that had Air tanks for fixing flats These bikes and the Scamblers are where off road bikes started
