I think there might be a bit more to that than just 'sticking a set of knobblies on'

Hate this appalling forum layout?  It is simple to deal with.  Use Firefox with Adblock Plus.  Use 'Select element to hide' to remove the spurious bollocks from the screen.  Sorted.

I think it is very cool. 

Probably a YZ400 would be a better choice off road - but not as much fun.

The suspension has most likely been changed too. Theres no way a sportbike suspension can cope with off road riding, as they don't have a lot of travel.

Wow that's uber cool and given me a few ideas! This other Swedish version has an R 1 with spike studded tyres, pulling wheelies over a frozen lake. Those crazzie Swedes!

From the look of it in the video I'd say its not coping. looks to be bouncing about a lot and going pretty slowly really.

Shock horror, its not as good as a Cr250. ........So fracking what. Looks like he is having more fun than posting messages about how the suspension isn't working correctly on an internet forum.
