    Now THAT'S an adventure bike

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

    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.
