    For cities, it looks practical and efficient. For rural homesteading life, it looks like something to run around the place on.

    They make those Razr (sp?) vehicles "side by side" that are so popular in BLM and ohv areas. They're even street legal in some places (Flagstaff).

    They are very fun to drive

    depends on where you're trying to get into and what you're trying to hall. in open prary or desert, if you're trying to drag anything in or out, but in dense forest with narrow trails, and not trying to drag in any more then you can carry on your back, or not much more, then two wheels. i just wish more two wheelers, more anything made for the back country, where a whole lot quieter. i mean wouldn't have to be for everyone. some people like noise and that's fine for them, except in places that are habitat for endangered species, but for me, the whole reason for being there is to see whatever odd little shy creatures, and that isn't going to happen (or at least not as often) riding on something that makes a lot of noise, even if it is moving faster then their usual running away speed. well almost the whole reason. sometimes i just want to sleep were there aren't any humans and sometimes to catch and eat fish. but even then i'm not there to announce my presence to other humans either.

    This is a 1971 Yamaha JT1 58cc Mini Enduro.
    These things were a blast!
    They were 3/5-scale versions of the 175, 350, and 250 DT-1.
    They cost around $300.00

    They were built just like a "real" enduros of the time with 5 speed transmission. When I worked at a Yamaha dealer we had a huge warehouse full of bikes stacked to the ceiling in crates and rows of them assembled on the floor. Every now and then we'd fire up these little guys and race around the warehouse in a circle around the new bikes. That came to a stop when one of us lost it on a turn and plowed into a row of motorcycles knocking them all down!

    We also had a souped up version that some kid would race for us till somebody stole it.
