This is a picture of a trike I found on e-bay which hit me really funny. Why did they abanded off road 3 wheelers and then make um for road use?? Would that be even more dangerous??? Just a thought and I would like to hear your opinions on this subject.:confused: :rolleyes: :nono:

Who ever came up with this Idea was on something....:lala: :lala:

street trikes way like a thousand pounds, roads are generally flat with out sharp curves, and your not jumping them. It's nearly impossible for you to flip one of those heavy S.O.B's. Not like our 300 and below pound bikes that have a higher center of gravity, shorter wheel base, and an idiot with out a helmet riding down a hill turning the wrong way and killing himself on.

make sense?

well if u ride a quad the same speed at as flying on a trike it seems slow, go really fast on a quad o a mx track, no trike would keep up, im not bashing trikes, and yes a atc 250r is fster than most quads

Most importantly is that the street trikes do not have a live axle, so handling is greatly improved, especially with them being on pavement. No dragging the inside tire and no highsiding.

Thats actually a very clean and sleek looking trike...i really like it.

The ones people MAKE look like sh1t..no doubt about it. THe ones that are from kits look good (most of them anyways--liek that one).

I did hear about some manufactuer actually building one stock...MAY have been Honda...dont remember. I do believe INDIAN used to make them. But indians are well known as POS's.
