Christini's have been around for a while. http://www.christini.com/

Here's a used civilian model on CL in Denver.

Originally based on a CRF 450X. Not sure who's engines they are using now.

That better than KLR 650 or 250 that they used for troops in the past. Two wheel drive and I hope it does not run on diesel fuel.

I think the basis now is actually Asiawing 450, or one of the likes.

I bet 2WD is awesome.

The US military talked about making a switch to diesel powered bikes a few years ago, so everything in the fleet could drink from the same well. Not sure if that ever materialized.

I have a KLR250 that is just like the model the military used to use. I hope to actually finish building it one day.

They did do the diesel one. If it was a turbo diesel you could sound like those farm kids ripping around.

Now that you mention it, I've seen that site before. I wonder if the plan is to produce a diesel Christini.
