Thread: Whats the best bike for hunting

Hi all

Whats the best bike to hunt with? Looking to get one to go through pureora with.

Crf 230

Depends how far off the trails you intend to go. Crf 230 will do most of what you want. A more enduro specd dirt bike will be able to take heavier loads and generate more Hp when you need it.

+1 for the crf230. I prefer it over the newer 250.

But @Jordy.94 just want to make sure you do mean motorbike not pushbike.?

Quadbike? Dirtbike? Pushbike?

Unicycle. Youll be able to carry it through the thick stuff

You'll be doing quite a bit of carrying then

A 500






Hughes, that is.

Met a bloke riding up the Avoca on one of these. Was quite impressed the way it was going.

Crf230's are for sissys get one of these proudly made in the USA they look agile as ha ha

But what if he wants to go fast, turn corners or stop?

Rokons are like a tank on two wheels.

But not what I would use here , unless you were on a nostalgia kick - and then you ought to be riding a Mountain Goat anyways.

The bike you already own is the best one for you - just get out and use it.

I thought that might have been a winch behind the headlamp, until scrolling to the second photo and it’s a motor for the front wheel.

No, they are not agile. They are just big heavy lumps of mild steel with no suspension, propelled by an underpowered motor, all for the grand price of 21,000 NZD, plus shipping and tax to get it over here.

They are American made, for American terrain. Nothing like our terrain.

I would run rings around you on a standard Enduro dirt bike, still have my back intact after struggling up some of our river beds, and be able to do 3 trips back to the car with veni aboard, than that slug would permit.

It’s all subjective to the individual. Everyone has their ( my bike is best ) preference but as long as it starts every time and runs all day what bike it is as long as it does the job.
