Thought I would share a picture or two of this custom trike. Anyone care to conjecture what that is?

that thing is sick!! imagine flooring that up a dried creekbed, better hang on. but all that motor, and all that work, you'd think you'd put it in a suspended machine.looks great nun the less

thats defenitly a cb 750 engine. and the power my cb 750 has it would be crazy in a 3 wheeler chassis!

hey, not a cb750, it's a cb550. I have 4 cb750's, and an 83 cb1100. check out the monster, it's a cb750.

its amazing how the 750 engine fits in the trike almost perfectly and looks like it was meant to be there. I wonder if the owner rides it much you would think he would intend on riding it after putting in all that work

everything on that bike is completely functional. it was built back in the day by the dealership as a showpiece. just something to have in the shop.

when i say it was never ridden...it was never ridden, in my lifetime.

how do u know all this? Do u know the owner?

i can remember when i was three or four years old going to pick up my grandpa's new 300 honda, this bike was sitting in that dealership on the podium where it is. it has not moved in the last 20 years.

the tires still have the nipple on them, and they are flat, but not dry rotted.

okay, never been ridden, it has been ridden through the dealership most likely, as the place is huge. but that's it, no drags, no road time, no trails.
