Rokon RT340 Automatic…


Here is a unique motorcycle you don't come across every day this is a Rokon dirt bike! Probably one of the most advanced motorcycles of its time! If you wanna overlook the obvious features of the Salsbury style clutch and automatic transmission, this is the very first motocross bike to ever have mag wheels! This is also the first motocross bike ever have disc brakes! Truly a motorcycle ahead of its time!


I bought this motorcycle in a package deal with another motorcycle and quite honestly I'm not really into dirt bikes! Soooo….. This bike came from an estate sale from some famous motocross guy his name was Bob Berg or Berqsomethingorother, but anyhow he was a famous enduro rider and raced these Rokon motorcycles.


The condition is really good for this survivor. The front Bator forks are straight with no rust, chips, nicks or pits in the legs. The triple clamps are in awesome shape, the front Kimtab snowflake magnesium wheels are straight with no dents, cracks or whoops. The airhart brake calipers work and the cast iron discs are just a little rusty but will clean up fine. The S&W rear shocks are in great shape no rust on the shafts. The rear Kimtab snowflake is straight no dents, bends, cracks, or whoops. The rear airhart brakes are in great shape, the disk again is like the front, a little rusty but will clean up just fine. The cool part is the start rope and mechanism all works great! The motor turns over fine with good compression I think this bugger would run with very little work! The gas tank is clean and being fiberglass obviously no rust to deal with. The fenders are thrashed and its missing the rear seat, I recently saw one here on eBay for sale, they pop up from time to time. Another cool thing, it still has the role chart and watch magnifier! These are kind of rare pieces and still has the map pouch on top of the gas tank! This quite honestly is a pretty neat motorcycle in really good shape wouldn't be too tough to get it running and then restore it. This certainly isnt your run-of-the-mill of the Yamaha, Honda, or Kawasaki!! I heard they were pretty fast back in the day…
