Just before Halloween 2023, enduro riding maniac Matt Spears, whose Gold Wing off road work you may already be familiar with, introduced his latest project. It’s an off-road Suzuki Hayabusa, and if you think that sounds mental, you should really watch the video.
Spears, who’s been riding enduro since he was a kid, undeniably has both a whole lot of skills and confidence. If anyone is going to carve a niche for themselves out of off-roading bikes that most people would deem entirely inappropriate for the task, it’s going to be someone with those characteristics. Is it a good idea? That all depends on whether you get up the hill or not.
