I would like to take it for a ride, I dont understand why some one would put that much effort in a hardtail, still cool to see a 650cc engine in a trike.

Looks shiny and pretty but I bet you it rides like a wheelbarrow

Yes agreed, watch out for mild corners and tiny bumps

Mild corners? Snap the throttle and go through it sideways!

Looks like a YT175 front end and rear fenders/seat with a 185/200 rear end lol

It ought to last about 5 minutes in the sand, given the open carbs. The forks look like they are about to snap off just sitting there parked. Might make a nice boat anchor.

I hate to tell you all, but all the early aftermarket trike frames were hardtail. Can't give you the exact date, but basically until the 81 atc250r came out, most if not all were hardtail. I've seen a hardtail frame that fit the kawi h2 750 engine! I should have bought that frame for sure, but let it get away. Most of the frames that fit the big engines were all out from the desert as well, so you had sand and those lovely 22x11x8 tires for suspension! LOL
