With this, comes the decision in how far your basecamp can be taken off road. Don’t make the mistake that many do, and their videos are on YouTube.

What are your thoughts on using one of these in the Southwest for exploring away from a basecamp (we're rockhounds)? Overkill? Too slow? Etc.? Traction with this 2X2 motorcycle would obviously be off the charts:

I'm wondering about carrying one of these on the front of our 24 foot E450 Class C for riding double with myself and the DW, as we hate towiing, and I don't want any weight leveraged off the rear.

There has been some discussion on these bikes, in the different forums. One of the people to talk with, is a poster named; DJ. You can find him in the Truck Forum or do a search and send him a PM.

The big issue I woiuld have, is the weight on the front of your vehicle and having a hitch and carrier stout and safe enought to carry it. While the bike will do what you wish, you might need to go from 2 up, to 1 up, on many hills, but that would not discourage me. But if you were to pull a trailer I would go with a sidebyside.

This is the reason I carry two different types of dirt bikes, so I can attack different terrain.
