While search for a dual sport motorcycle, I came across this.

Great way to get yourself around, as long as you don't have gear.

Not going to haul 500# with those, but great for accessing remote areas, and you could haul a basic toolbox with you - for checking fence lines, or chasing down livestock through rough country, those would be ideal, and very easy on fuel.

Thanks for posting those...... for the back 40/4000, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.....

those look nice for an older rider who gave up 20 years ago...

Very nice machines, we used dirt bikes for years until we got too old to use them. We now use UTV/ATV, but miss the agility of a good dirt bike.

I still have my old 250 Ossa down in the barn, just can't bear to part with it.

I agree with TripleR, when rounding up cattle on my brothers farm several times a year, I still choose my dirt bike over his 2 atvs or the pickup.

Yamaha TW200 is street legal or or for offroad only a Rokon would be a much better choice.

Oso Spanish for Bear :thumbsup: good one

But to get back to your 250 Ossa, what model is it? If you fix it up nice it might be worth more then your barn is worth.

It's a 250 Explorer which was their attempt at a dual purpose bike with a two person seat and rear foot pegs, but basically it is a trials type frame and gearing. My wife's uncle owned an Ossa Mick Andrews Replica and another owned a dealership sponsoring Motocross bikes.

My son says he wants to fix mine up, but who knows. I can go down, put fresh fuel in "tickle" the carb and it will fire right up.
