Long overdo,it’s bad to the bone, I think I would beef up the front fork.

Fantastic looking bike. How fast is it capable of going ? Any issues with overheating or cavitation of the pump with such a small reservoir ? Low end power ? Does it perform anything like a Rokon ?

Huh Didn’t see it before but I really like the leaf spring on the rear of the seat. Its a simple and elegant solution.

Beaut’ work!

It looks very much to function like the Rokon, I do think it could be great with a diesel engine.

The Drysdale prototype was also hydrostatic 2WD, but also featured hub stearing at both ends, the machine was also a two stroke and geared more towards the enduro side rather than the slow trail Rokon Idea.

A hydrostatic drive diesel 2WD superbike with hub stearing up front would be brilliant, I would build one myself but I am too talentless, poor and unmotivated.

Ditto what todd said.

Well done, Jeff.
