Sweet, reminds me of the Honda Mini-Trail I rode in the 60's.
It’s supposed to. That’s how they pry 4 grand out of you for one. I had a 1978 XL75 as a kid in the 80’s and a friend who had a Z50 too. I have an Africa Twin that I just love but it’s so big and unwieldy for short little things I thought this might be fun. I had a Z1000 that I hadn’t ridden since buying the Africa twin so I tried riding it this summer and decided I wasn’t into that type of bike anymore. Sold it a few weeks ago and went shopping.

Put it to work. Saved a Ford from certain disaster. The tide was coming in.

For those who don't think airing down is necessary, this guy had 80 pounds in his tires. I told him to go down to 12. After I pulled him out, he was cruising the beach with no problem. I aired down to 16 in front and 14 in back. No problems.

Do you stay in 2-wheel drive on the beach while driving around at those pressures?

No, I drive in 4 high. I have tried locking the rear, but it is better not too, unless you need it. I am sure you could drive in 2 wheel, but I don't want to be embarrassed by getting stuck, so I play it safe. Since most times we go out alone, I don't like to take a chance of getting stuck.

The other day we went out to just have lunch on the beach, so I didn't air down. (36/33) When I tried to back up a very slight incline to park for lunch, I dug quite a trench. So now I always are down.
