Sounds like a stock '08 KLR to me...


The engine is from CZ 516 motocross bike, around 500cc 2-stroke model. It develops 45hp approx., has custom port layout (7 ports) and other modifications.
The gearbox is modified as well, has 12 (!!!) gears and the winch is also connected to the gearbox (when needed).
Monocoque-type steel frame which acts as a fuel tank with a volume of 40 liters, as an airbox of huge volume and as a silencer for the exhaust system.
The suspension is based on single-sided arms, the tyres used are 5?18"

It has it's own side-car as a winter option, which makes it 3wd vehicle.
