Yea I posted this a few months back, that guy is a real idiot and I told him that on thumpertalk.

When is someone going to actually prove they're unstable, instead of sitting on their ass and assuming?

Also, I personally think the CPSC needs to mind their own business. How do they know what's best for ME without actually knowing me?!?!

To date the CPSC is still waiting for the safety standard for off road 3 wheeled atvs. Once that is completed the big 4 can start producing them again. Bet that standard will never happen.

anyone who has ridden on 2 wheels, 3 wheels and/or 4 wheels knows that they ALL have different handling characteristics from each other....thats all it really comes down to is learning how to ride each one and not trying to ride a quad as you would a bike, and so on and so forth......funny how they never mention that quads handle much differently than bikes....i have owned and ridden all 3 types and i find them all fun in their own way. different from one another yes, but all fun, capable machines in their own ways. ya just have to understand that..i have never broken a bone in my life. granted, im not a moto-x star and mainly ride trails and seasonal roads, but still, 25 years of riding off road vehicles on 2, 3 and 4 wheels with no serious injuries is worth something i would think?? its more about whats between the operator's ears than how many wheels are on the ground.....

I am beginning to think that trikes are more maneuverable than quads, which I guess could be why people assume they roll easier?

i did a post on there,what a dummy.

nicely put! That is true if you think about it.

A buddy of mine told me he didn't like 3 wheelers because they couldn't turn very fast, so I showed him my 200x could do a 90 degree turn between two trees hauling in 3rd in about 10 feet. I don't know any 4 wheelers that can. Then he said they aren't very fast. My 200x can keep up with any 300ex and on a trail many bigger bikes and my 350x keeps up with just about anything. Then he said they're unsafe. I put him on my 200x and showed him how to really ride a 3 wheeler. Now it's hard to get him off it.

Bwa-ha-ha-ha!!!! thats classic!

what a retard if it werent for trikes god knows if quads would have ever came around those retards need to have some respect.

wow, I have seen this 4-5 times now lol.

Trikes definitely DO NOT corner faster then quads do, I recently sold my 350X for a 400EX and I love both but the quad is faster in every way shape and form just because it is that much more stable then a 3-wheeler when turning. Now don't take this as hate because I love ATC's and like the other guy said all offroad vehicles handle differently and it just takes a certain riding style. I grew up on 3-wheelers and am a very capable rider, I rode trails and MX tracks that people couldn't believe I rode an ATC on. Dirtwheels did a 4-wheeler vs 3-wheeler comparison and the 4-wheeler was faster in every aspect, it's just the fact of life but with that said I still love ATC's and want another 350X to rebuild from the ground up.

I refuse to believe a quads heavier front end can maneuver faster than a trike. I've been on my share of quads, and not only are they not fun at all, but they aren't even as maneuverable, and that includes a handful of 400EX's! The one and only quad that I thought maneuvered similar to a trike was a craptor 350, but I hadn't spent enough quality time on it to know.

You said you've only ridden ATC's- there's Kawasaki and Yamaha still that you haven't considered.

Inv3tiv3, you almost sound like you are against 3 wheelers, even though you say you are not. Im sure that saying a quad is better in every way than a 3 wheeler is an exageration, dont you think? Everyone has their own opinion, and a lot (especially around here) would say 3 wheeler is better than 4. Do you even own a 3 wheeler anymore? I see it says on your avatar everything is SOLD but then in lists your quad, whith all these mods done, and I know it has been asked before, but why do you have a pic of a 4 wheeler? This is a 3 wheeler site, and it just dosnt make sense to me to be flashing your quad, and talking about how much better it is all the time than a 3 wheeler.
