Rokon motorcycles aren’t like any other. This particular two-wheel-drive beast, the Ranger Dual Sport Edition, might not produce crazy power figures, but it can tow 2,000 lb (907 kg), climb a 60% grade, and carry heaps of luggage – all while being street legal.

    The really funny part about it is…a fully loaded KLR 650 Adventure ABS(most expensive trim in the US, $8.2K) fully out the door cost less than the sticker price on this thing($10.5K). 🤯

    Also the bike in the article has a solid rear frame, three speed trans that tops out at 37mph. So ‘street legal’ if you never want to actually take it out of your neighborhood.

    Edit cause my phone likes to change crap.

      Yeah the KLR tops out at around 98 mph with stock gearing, and can pop a power wheelie in first gear (second if you have an exhaust upgrade). I think the KLR is the most okayest motorcycle ever made. Whatever you want to do with it, it’ll do okay. It’s not great at anything, but it’s pretty okay at everything.
