I don't know how this came up on my recommended list, as I'm not into trail bikes, but I have to say it was one of the most informative and enjoyable videos about off-road related stuff that I've watched in a while. The pacing and style had me hooked from start to finish.

After watching this, makes me want to go out and purchase a Rokon. Oh yeah, I already have two Trail -Breakers. A++ on your excellent review. Heading into the Montana back country in the morning. Thank you!

Absolutely the best video I have seen demonstrating what the Rokon will do!

The best Rokon review I've come across. Great demos of features and characteristics. Thanks!

He forgot to mention that it will float on It's left side with the right side air intake up. It can be swam across deep water and will start when you get to the other side. Also it can be purchased with PTO (Power Take Off) or a trailer hitch. It has a 2,000 pound towing capacity.

One thing that's nice is the fact when you do get stuck, you can operate the throttle without having to mess with a clutch. Loved the video!

I've seen a lot of Rokon Video, most pretty good, so far this one is my favorite, clear, easy to understand, thorough review Thanks.

outstanding review, mate, thanks for taking the time to share this cool bike...wish they were broadly available in Oz (and that i owned a property to ride one on!)...hope it's still going strong for you

That's precisely what I was thinking!

The biggest defect of this design is no shocks on the rear. Shocks make a huge difference with comfort and traction. I ride mototrials in competition. One of the biggest differences of the new motorcycles and models 20 years ago is the shocks. As shocks improved so did the bikes ability to climb.

Thank you so much for making this video. A really awesome engineerd motorcycle. I would love to own one, but doubt I can ever get one in Norway.

In 1995 I bought a brand new rokon ranger from the people who imported the argo swamp buggies in Rockhampton in central Queensland he imported only two and didn't get any more .I still have it today, both of the rokons he imported were prototypes with the first gx 160 Honda engines on them,fantastic machine still going strong today. 😊😊😊😊

one of the best things about something like this is its simplistic reliability, yes modern bikes are most likely more reliable in general but because the engine on the rokon is so simple most issues can probably be patched up at the roadside.

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Got me interested in those bikes

I sure miss my Rokon. I sold mine after 10 years as it was the two stroke model without the articulating front end and it was too noisy and bouncy for me. I have always planned on getting the four stroke version with the better front end someday. Love them as they go places nothing else can go.

We have one my dad bought for us in 1971 and it still runs and works perfect today.we use it every hunting season. These things will last forever if you take care of it. Also you can store 2.5 gallons of fuel or water in the rims. It’s sealed . We put fresh water in each of our wheels when we go hunting. Our older model hold a little over 4 gallons if I remember right. You can also float them in water on its side with air box carb side up

I LOVE the looks of this thing. First time I've seen these type of wheels/open'; others offer the ability to store fluids in the inner hub.

Hi from Southeast Iowa USA. I've had the Scout for two years now and have had a lot of fun. After two months, I had carburetor problems, but the company sent me a free new carburetor and I had to send them the old one back. Also, the air filter sat crooked on the carburetor, which had me concerned, as the back chain kicked up mud and debris onto the air-cleaner cover. I remedied that by making a snorkel using radiator hose from a truck and put an air-cleaner on top of the snorkel. The air cleaner is a new breather for large engine for valve covers. It took some minor engineering, but a do-it-youselfer could figure it out. The service was excellent with the company. So even at 64, I'm still off-road and having fun. C-ya p.s. The Scout has no front suspension. I chose that model for less chain maintenance.

I've often wondered what that bike was from your little snippets. Cool bit of kit for sure. I'm hopeless on two wheels 😂. Will stick to my quad!

Very professional review and photography. You could make commercials for the company. Closeups of mechanicals explain far better than talking about it. Love the kickstand feature as a fulcrum for spinning the bike. The log roll was very effective too as was the getting stuck in a hole!!

Great review on the key points of the Rokon. I call mine the slow-kon. It will take a rider anywhere you have the gutts to point it.

It's nice to see that the left turn signal is a universal off road dual sport sign
