These were in books i had as a kid, seen loads of them. This is the first time i have ever heard one running though. So many cool bikes on this channel 👌

Never knew they were built in NH. Excellent video.

I remember the MX version. Braking was an issue do to no engine braking... torque converters, not brake converters. Cool blast from the past. Thanks:)

Yesssss I remember the Rokon MX 250 at a Honda dealership in Litchfield, Ct. Cool machine, but yes I could see how braking would be terrifying 😅 I also remember the translucent gas tank so you always knew exactly how much fuel you had left.

Now that's a head turner! Very cool. Love the disc brakes. Beautiful Rokon! Nicest one I've ever seen. Love the red too.

When I was a kid, a friend of mine had one. Probably roughly the same year. My recollection is that the original color was yellow.

Very nice and it looks brand new!

Love those bikes. Like the fact that you have to pull start them, just for something different. I love the fact that they can float. I thought they went out of business..Then I watched this video, and I heard you mention that they have a website, so I'm gonna go check it out. Great Video.

They are a tank pulling bike for sure there slow but you can climb anything drive through terrain that others don’t want to and I have seen them go in places where even 4x4 at s can’t even go

These things were designed for outdoorsmen ideally for camping, hunting and fishing in the rough terrain.

People like to laugh at "The Rokon Guy" -but he will always get to where he needs to go (eventually). -The 50cal ammo box is a tasteful add, but need another to balance it out. (with a Rokon, 2 is always better than 1)

Never saw a rokon with spoke wheels not the water or fuel tank wheels

That is a actually a 73/74 not a 69. That is an auto bike no shifting only available in those years.

My neighbor had 2 of these. He told me they had a Chrysler 2 stroke on the older ones. They still make these machines but I'm not sure what the new ones have for a power plant

@chayes954r Жыл бұрын

And Chrysler had a lot of experience in two stroke engines back then, with all the marine outboards they were making at the time. The original Chrysler outboard engines eventually had the name changed to Force outboard engines, if I'm not mistaken.
