I want this hybrid so bad I can't stand it BUT I wonder if I could ever get my money back out of it when it's time for something else. What do y'all think?

I've seen another trike made from a Warrior along time back on this site. This one looks alot better then the first one I seen. Over all it seems like it's too long of wheelbase. I'm a big fan of building modern day trikes from quads so I like this idea. The price is alittle high but doesnt seem too far out of line as long as everything works and looks good. Think about it where else could you buy a Warrior trike if you wanted one? As for it being the baddest thing sense sliced bead. Nope a stock 350x will make a Warrior look like a wimp in a drag race.

You will not get your $$ back ever. That's the problem with projects like that - ton's of effort and investment by the builder to meet his vision but looks like a trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotr ailpro to anyone else.

$2300 would get you a cherry 250R or 350X and if you shop carefully it might get you one of each that need a little work.

However, it's your $$ and if you gotta have it...

I think it's actually a decent build. Considering how many hacked up machines you see with 2 x 4 frames. Definitely overpriced though.

I must be retarded, the guy didnt list what quad was used for making that bike in the ad. either way, doesnt look too bad. Something about it just doesnt look as sexy as say, the 450r conversions etc. i like it though

I think its an over priced POS. A Warrior is a bad platform to start with IMO. The owner apparently has never been on a real bike if he thinks that thing is so EXTREMELY FAST. And with a lot of the over hyped ads you get the "dude with backwards hat spinning donuts" video lol.

I agree with the others; warriors are not real fast to begin with. The advantages wouldn't be speed related-they would be availability of parts and conveniences of electric start and reverse.

(I have ridden bill's personal machine ) But just the frame mods,hub and triples will cost what this thing does. it doesn't look to be put together that badly. the availability of parts is worth a G to me. You won't make any money or get that back reselling it but it may be worth looking at for a rider.
