Your winter beater-bikes

I have this 2016 RMZ 450 that has only done 28 hours which I found quite cheap during the summer

I have a hard time keep my bike a “beater bike”. I got a KTM 125 with the plan of keeping it stock. Full rebuild later I need another beater bike for the beater bike

This winter I won’t be riding. My KX250F needs an overhaul. And my first child is due in a few weeks. So I’ll spend the winter rebuilding the kx and learning my new way of life with the little one. Next spring I plan to add a 250XC to the mix and have the kx as a spare beater bike.

My winter beater bike consist of slapping on old plastics on my 300 xcw for the nasty slop i ride in.

Winter beater is my ‘96 CR
That’s Honey. She’s turning out to be a pretty good track dog.

Homey don't play that...see ya in 6 months.

The big bikes get put up but the xr's are out year round.

Running this rig last couple of years.2007 e350 w/ quigley conversion. Needed it a few times this year just to get out of the pits at the track. Works for me an two dogs.

I see you have the 120". Do you race or just ride on a snow covered MX track? I would think a longer track for your location would be a better option.

Either way, those are awesome.

I am almost done with this beater for the Elsinore Grand Prix this weekend. It's a 125 four stroke, I need to tune the front brakes a little better, and get the front fender on. It's loud!..maybe because I just have a straight pipe. Sorry neighbors.

Congrats dude! It’s filled with joy, nervousness, stress, but a hell of a lot of joy!

She’s been done for a while, but still haven’t ridden her yet. She’s the winter beater for sure.

Na, a 120 is all you need for the backcountry. The longer tracks handle like a school bus.

These riot kits are the first snowbike that truly handles like a dirt bike.

I'm gonna use my '19 Tc125 through winter. Only thing I'm doing different is taking it to SoCal with me. I'll go back to Ireland when the weather improves...

2016 husky 300 setup for winter trail work,bikes awesome with this setup might invest in a track kit later but we don’t get a lot of snow, just stays frozen for 6 mths
