    This just looks fun!

    This vid just sold me on my next bike. He isn't doing anything special, but he is showing me the power Honda has to offer. I am tired of working on my Yamaha more then I ride it. So if I 'm lookin into another bike, I think I found it!

    P.S. What about that exhaust?

    Rick, what are you riding now? I should know, but I forget.

    I watched the whole 7 minutes or so, not because it was so exciting, but like you, I just wanted to see the handling of the 350X. This is becoming my ultimate want-it trike. I got the impression of a somewhat unskilled rider (which wouldn't be any different with me on it), and I was thinking he was going pretty easy on it. I liked best when he came at the camera on the straightaway trail and the leaves stayed in the air for a few seconds as he passed!

    The 350x is definitely a fun trike. I LOVE riding mine but I asbolutely HATE working on it. I get so mad at that thing I just want to throw it off a cliff. Hopefully once I figure out it's current carb problem I won't have to tinker with it again for a very long time.

    Anyway, here's some more 350x vids. Nothing terribly exciting. I don't ride the 350x real hard. That's what 250R's are for.

    I'm sporting a YTM 200ern, not exactly your sports bike, but when it comes to getting stuck in mud(Just don't happen) or moving my trailer (used for hauling the bikes), I'm good. I guess I feel the need for speed! I watched your vids, ! I could only dream of of open range riding. I pretty much only see mud trails around here, so my bike is fitting! As I see more bikes and places they go. I feel I must expand my collection and the type of riding I do. Any thing I have ever rode, Ive rode it like I stole it! This 350x has just mesmerized me, and I still love my current wheelie machine YTM. Like I said I fix on it more then i ride it!

    I've heard people say it will do 70mph. Love the videos ! You can really ride a wheelie, man. I've never learned to do that. I can manage it on the 200x if I kneel on the seat and stick my foot in the grab bar, but only for a few seconds at that. My 225dx likes to wheelie, i suppose that would be the one to learn on.

    I was also online pricing GoPro's just now. Tempting. I've tried doing riding videos on my Flip, and they're mostly worthless. Too much jitter.

    But I digress. The 350x is going to be my next trike. Not counting rescue trikes of course...
