Seems like 4 wheelers would be more effective. Easier to drive, heavier payload, and nearly as fast on rough ground.

My Dad “appropriated” a German motorcycle with sidecar during WWII, somewhere near Metz. Then he found a welding torch and cut off the sidecar. He and the crew carried it around on the back of their tank for a few weeks, riding it for fun. One of the guys laid it down and broke his arm, and their CO confiscated the bike.
Royal Enfield Military Edition, in current use by the Indian armed forces.
$19,000 for a 650 with no cruise control and no tape deck is a little pricey.
Another reason besides range (mpg) wasn’t left out of this.. The primary reason these were converted to diesel is because it’s the most available fuel on the battlefield. The KLR650 is a great bike. I had a friend that rode one across the United States completely off road (Trans-America Trail). He had a great time. I’d love to make that trip one day!
Sounds like a good bugout bike wtshtf.
