hey guys, just thought I would share this little 3 wheeled joy with you. It came to us as a kawi 110 rolling frame, got a yanmar L60 diesel engine shoehorned into it, had a turbo put on it, and it got rode, by me, for 2 solid seasons.

here is the utube link

just one question, why??

**Lukeatc185** · 09-02-2009, 08:33 PM

i bet that thing could tow like a MuthaF**cka!!!

A place by me sells those same diesel engines, and I thought it would be cool to use one on something like a trike, go-cart, or something like that.

**MonroeMike** · 09-02-2009, 09:13 PM

Very different and cool.

Straight up bad ass! How is it power-wise compared to a regular gas job?

thats crazy i want one now..only problem is if you run out of diesel while riding nobody you run into will have any..

**MagicJames** · 09-02-2009, 11:26 PM

That is sexy, but almost useless for me, unless i can pump 100+ hp out of it!!

that is awesome nice work, personally i think it would best suite a big red like a 200e,

the milage is unbeleivable, we have speed tests on it running 50mph on asphalt, it is a hoot to ride the smallish wheel base of the 110 wheeler makes it a squrly terror, throttle response is slightly delayed, playing with the clutch is kind of ongoing, I personally learned my love of three wheelers from this warped little beauty six years or so ago, after riding it for two seasons at Croom in Brooksville, FL, I bought my 200S, now I am reassembling the sad 250R basket case I bought 3 years ago (thread forthcoming).

Why is obvious. 'Cause itoculd be done , and someone(namely me) was crazy enough to ride it. The rest of my pack never got away from me, and I was riding with a blaster, a lacoda, and a banshee, and they never took it easy on me. It will damn near climb a tree, and once the turbo spools up you had better have a tight grip, the guy that built it and I had a drag race down one of the longer wider straights at Croom, he was riding the trike and I was on his lacoda, 'cause he wanted to trade for a minute, I grabbed 5th and that little diesel was still pulling past me, just before it spit him off and then he wanted the quad back, thankfully.

That's pretty effin awesome! I think it's hilarious and ingenious.

**lndy650** · 09-03-2009, 07:35 AM

awesome! i love deisels. id like to see a 2 stroke deisel in a 3 wheeler though...

**Brockey** · 09-03-2009, 09:41 AM

Nice man, awesome way to bring a trike back to life. Need more videos too!

**murphysadvocate** · 09-03-2009, 10:36 AM

more videos on the way...gonna get some top speed runs, and see if we can get som vids of it getting dirty, too.

it is faster than you think, too. we have it clocked at 50mph and still pulling(we ran out of road).

glad you guys like it, I will go convince its builder/owner that we need to film some antics.
