...Liked the idea
of a Rokon two-wheel drive motorcycle but nearly had heart failure
when viewing the price. It's even doubled since I last looked😬 Still
think it would work great. Could have carried it on rear of the truck
using a hitch mount. Though can't fathom leaving it unattended anywhere
with that kinda price tag...

Although Rokons are made nearby I've never seen one on the trails. My Suzuki 185 would go almost anywhere, rabbit path to Interstate, just not as fast as others so on long club trail rides I tended to fall back with the wives. The invisible slippery rocks in a river were a challenge but I made it across without falling and up the bank. The most capable rider had a Bultaco 125CC Pursang and the skill to make the most of it.
We practiced the stunts of Trials competitions such as full-lock turns balanced by the throttle, and stopping with feet up. I got as far as climbing over a tree stump.
If the mud was impossible a folding camp saw cut sticks to 'pave' a firmer trail.
The Suzuki was well suited to conditions here, street-legal plus capable of narrow twisting forest trails. It's previous owner had ridden it in California Enduros but I don't think it was powerful enough to be competitive and the trials universal tires limited its sand, mud and snow traction. It was fine for exploring.
