So I found a Rokon MX340 today. I knew enough about these bikes to identify it in some blackberries, but that's about it. It has a MX serial number, but looks to have the enduro(RT) exhaust. I also see what looks to be a headlight pigtail, so not 100% sure on what I have. Anyone know how I can verify what year this thing is?
The tank doesnt look original either. Its got some Redwing Hammerhead shocks on it. The motor turns over and has compression. Im thinking about building it up for the winter vintage series we have here.
Very cool find and score man!!
I know little about those but will look around to see if I can find info whilst surfing vintage sites.
Enjoy the restore !!
Our family owns the earliest known Rokon factory Cobra. It sat in boxes for 40+ years before brother fully restored and raced in some AHRMA races before he passed. It's on display at the Hill Country Motorheads Motorcycle Museum in Burnett, Tx. If you ever get the chance stop in there and check out the collection of bikes. Some incredible bikes in there, lot of the real deal...it's worth the time if you're ever in the area.
So after more examination, someone tried converting this MX to a RT(enduro). I can see where they cut the bracket off for the low pipe, then welded the high pipe mount on. Ill be converting it back. Through a Rokon group I found out its a '74.
Nice find, SO. Just recently sold my pristine 76 Rokon 340 RTII Enduro. Still have my 74, though. Once you get the hang of it, they're fun bikes to ride.
