I'm familiar with Rokons, but am curious about the Christini's. Anyone have any experience with them? I keep thinking one of those, lowered, with a rekluse clutch, would bethree ultimate hunting motorcycle.
My question is,where can you actually ride a motorcycle and hunt.....not in Washington. Or can you?

Depends on where you hunt. If legal to ride yes. Me and several others I know just use them for getting from camp to the area we are going to hunt.

When they work they are nice. Rode one up a red clay covered bolder field our razors were getting stuck in.
But man they seem to break...

we have a bunch of them for work.

What seems to break on the Christini?

5 days of training. Ridden very rough, at higher speeds, and over tougher terrain.
One lost the bolts to the front wheel drive shaft. The second blew a clutch..
We’re taking them to the dunes in a few weeks. I’ll report back on how they performed.

Note, these are not privately owned, and my guys don’t pay for fixes, nor make repairs themselves. They are ridden in a “pack mentality” of strong “a-type” personalities. I say all that to say we are not proffesional riders, and view all all terrain Vic’s as a way to work. So if it has a week point or can be broken... We tend to find it even though it’s unintentional.

I'll talk to our mechanics and riders and get more info.

The motor is an off brand. Like Kohl or something of the sort. It is supposed to be interchangeable with all honda parts. Our mech says only about 50% fit, forcing him to purchase through Mr. Christini direct. He sends us pot metal garbage.
For instance, the throttle body he showed me is insanely cheap in quality, and the valve makes contact when closing, in effect keeping the valve open about 3-5%.
The fuel injection is poorly built. So bad the mech says he'd take a carb any day over theirs.
The ecm blows out almost every trip.
He did say he thinks this bike is gonna be amazing in 10-20 years. He's just not a fan right now.
He also said the version we have is different than the civilian sector

Wb, are you talking rokons or christini's? I know rokons use kohls. Rokons have fat tires, christinis look like a regular motorcycle.
I would easily bet he’s talking about christinis. Rokons are gutless wonders but are bulletproof

The motor is actually a “gas gas”. A European Honda.
So we have 5 out in the dunes right now.
We’re down to only 2 after one day.
Have changed all the ecm’s on them.
One overheated, with none of the obvious contributors.
I layed one down pretty hard, but my knee snapped the head bolts for the handle bars. (May give a Pass on this one... and yes. It hurt. Bad. Lol)
I’ve seen an 80% hard failure rate on Chrisinis.
Bottom line I would pass.
The mech said christini makes an attachment to throw on any other bike that has been solid. I’d check that route. Over paying for a poor bike.
