Here is what a Rokon two wheel drive motorcycle looks like. I have had four different ones of these. They are still built in New Hampshire. This one has a Chrysler two stroke power bee engine. New they cost about $7500. Thats why they are kinda rare.
Both front and rear wheel will hold 5.5 gallons of fuel. They will float in about three feet of water. They have a three speed transmission. It shifts like a old Harley. They go about 30 m.p.h.

Yes I have taken it on several hunting trips. I have a hill across the street that is real steep. Its pretty hard to stop. I have ice spikes in the tires. That helps alot.
The design hasn't changed much over the years.
I remember that bike from my childhood. Never had one ... but saw it in magazines.
Pretty hard to stop in a good way or pretty hard to stop in a bad way??
Hard to stop in a good way = climbs like a mountain goat ?
Hard to stop in a bad way = brakes not working... ?
In a good way. I once pulled a 3/4 ton Ford pickup in the field out front. It will pull a train. eek!
Whats it got a trans or a centrifical clutch? I also didn't realize they were still being made.
It has a three speed transmission along with a centrifical clutch. So you can let it idle in gear.
The new bikes are using a Honda four stroke engine. They have a clutch set-up like a snowmobile.
