    Just an FYI: I have been told that the guys that do it on the quads are running sand paddles on the rear. I've never seen it in person or tried it, but it seems to make sense to me.

    Probably a terrible idea. Don't know if you heard but three wheelers are very unstable

    I think a first gen R would be the best for water crossings. tons of power, big from tire for stability and slap some paddles on the back and giver hell

    Yea , I made it but my phone was on the dash on the defrost vent all the way home to dry out. I was on a 86 250r. The puddle was deeper than I thought.

    I've done a few 30-50 foot skips. You need a spot where the bank is near level with the water. Just it and lean way back. Anything longer and i think paddles would be needed.
    The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it.
