whoa that's all kinds of horrible.
I can understand why people use trikes if yno, they can't ride properly or don't enjoy just the bike, but for gods sake, use half a cruiser not half a sports bike lol

In my personal opinion it doesn't look bad especially the wheel arches however what has let it down is the joints ( Question ) for the back wheels should have been in black not silver.

Agree it's not too bad but a bit sloppy with just using the rear axle as is. Would be better if width had been reduced. Failing that using the space for some luggage carrying ability.

Personally I like hammer-head trikes. The Can-Am Spyder from Bombardier is on my wish list as a must have a ride on it bike.

I can think of only one reason to do that, and that is : if you were all smooshed up from an accident (or ill/crip-dem from old-age) then you might want to trike a bike like that.

It actually looks remarkably like my current bike only MINE HAS STILL ONLY GOT TWO WHEELS Dance!

Hell of a twist on that subframe, I mean look the rear wheels are sat flat, the frame is cantered over and the front forks too

Would you be even able to turn on something like that? Seeing as at speed you don't actually turn the handlebars... I can't see how you could corner on that at anything over 10mph

Agreed, and it has a live rear axle, no diff, so you'd end up skipping around corners...

How's that then? A live axle has a diff, it's that big bit in the middle connected to the wheels by half shafts. The diff could be welded up but I doubt that would have been done.


It still could have been done better, for example, those massive light units on the back of the arches would be gone as all you need is marker lights.

But what was wrong with what I said? It's designed to design and work as a bike, the dynamics would be all fucked up from just slapping two wheels on the back surely?

How do you explain all those goldwing trikes then?

They started off as bikes, didn't they?

A "Bike-Trike" simply becomes a straightforward steering machine as opposed to a leaning machine.

And I don't know, i've never heard of them...
I'm not a bike nut who claims to know everyhtign about them, i've been on a bike for a few months Razz

Well Keggyhander, its not looking good for your knowledge then buddy...

For starters, Trikes are just wrong. They are stable where you don't want them to be, and unstable where you don't want them to be. You get wet when it rains, but you can't lean or filter.And you have an airbrushed picture of Charley Boorman on your bike...

Alpha-9 might be a noob, but in this case he's right. How to ruin a bike in 1 easy step: Turn it into a trike.

Did you just mean to go FULL retard?

And it's not Charley Boorman, it's Robert Addie, n00b.

PS: I wouldn't have a trike, but they have their uses.
