I know it is heavy and all that probably, but I think this is hella cool and I'd love to rock this in the dirt...I know I wouldn't be doing any hero kind of jumps, but I'd plow through everything else!!!

Looks like a combo of a Yamaha TW200, Husqvarna Nuda 900, and a Confederate Fighter frame.
 750 single? Now that's a thumper!

I know right...and it has the ability to be converted to a snowmobile, so it could be a 4 season machine for sure!

like the tank

That thing is worthless.....props for the balls to design and actually put this on the market....even though it is doomed to be a failure.  Anybody remember the back of hunting/outdoor magazines that had a similar tractor like two wheeler that could "go anywhere".  I have never seen one in use, nor heard of anyone who has ridden/owned one.

you mean to the Rokon?

Doesn't exactly look like its going to be convertible. More like 2 different configurations of the same 'machine'. At least from the pics, the front suspension setup and the rear drive for the 2 configurations look completely different.

I've seen a couple of those in action and, while I'm not in the market, I do see the appeal.

But maybe this is a bad time to admit that I've long wanted a Yamaha TW200, so feel free to disregard anything I say.

From a styling standpoint as well as ruggedness I would prefer to see a beefier set of forks up front.

I wonder how much cake went into R&D? What a waste of money. The Honda Big Wheel and Fat Cat were failures. Why this would succeed is beyond me. I mean, what the hell is it good for? Wide open plains? You can't corner, you can't jump. What else is there? Maybe a 2" wheelie...

That thing is awesome, would be a hoot to drive.  [evil]

Tractor Supply Company had a similar generic bike for $850 when I was there this summer.
