Thanks for posting this. This kind of rock crawling is a bit too technical for me. Not really interested. I like seeing the scenery and find it cool they grew up there wheeling. Other than that not much else other than an ad. for Nitto. I don't agree with going back to older machines to learn how to drive. We take the machines of today and do more. I spent my whole life on a bike (road and dirt) and I would much rather drive the bikes of today than the bikes of yesteryear. They are safer, way more capable and a lot more fun. If you grew up wheeling the old vehicles that would have been a great time and a cool way to grow up but we are not missing anything other than past memories and experience. I did have a lot of fun as a kid on bikes but I wouldn't want to ride an old bike now. In 2001 my dad gave me a an 1984 KZ 750 he totally re did. It was nice but you really knew you were riding it bouncing and rattling around the corners at high speed. I also had at that time a Kawasaki ZRX 1200R and that bike was styled after the old KZ'eds. 125 HP, great suspension and tires and a blast to ride. I will stick with the Raptor.

It seems Nitto sponsors a lot of these videos. What do people think or the KO2's? I would be interested in hearing. They seem to be a good tire.

Look at these two bikes. These are the actual bikes. The ZRX 1200 above was an awesome machine. The KZ 750 (rear spring shocks) above would have been back in the day but the ZRX really really rocked it. Don't get me wrong I loved the KZ. I gave it to a guy years down the road who worked for me at the time. He was a real tinkerer and we had a KZ 650 in pieces and a GPZ 750 he took as well.

Fantastic memories. My dad's first bike had no shocks at all and was a suicide shift.

Nitto sponsor's most of those in video's that I've seen running their tires. From my observations, it appears Nitto has done well targeting the racing community, on & off road racing.

I Love the K02's, currently have them on 3 of my 4x4's. They ride good, quiet, and sticky (good traction) on the highway.

who doesn’t look back fondly at soiling their undergarments when they get tank slapping speed wobbles on their 70’s Yamaha RD-350. Aaaaaah good times!
