lol, well not really...but could you imagine lol. At least you know it will have no problem keeping with traffic on the road sections.

The R1 has been a proven dual sport machine from buddy who rode his around the world.

hmm, my curiousity is working about now. Would think that sporting some disk and fork leg guards would be in order though. And, where in the heck did he get the off road tires from?

hmm, a rear tire used for the front will lessen the rake/trail sport ride geometry. Make it more stable for off road. I can see this happening. Interesting. Although the weight of the R1 in dirt reminds me of using the inlines on the sand dunes.
