Is it just me or does everyone semm to hate trikes?

[86'250sx]

When I was going to school there was a lot of people who always had to make a stupid comment when I had my 250sx in the back of my truck. Then you ask them if they've even ever rode one before and the majority of them haven't. So one day I decided to show them what they were missing and unloaded my trike did a few wheelies and doughnuts in the parking lot and after that they all wanted to ride it and never said anything bad about it again. All the older guys out ice fishing like them though.

yeah you called it

Wow, jmax857, you just insulted thousands of 3-wheeler owners. Why are you even on a 3-wheeler site? glamy pretty much answered your questions. jmax857, you need to study and research, are you a certified bike mechanic? Many members on here are & have been working on cycles for 30+ years. And I like quads, I got my 1st 4-wheeler in 1986. And yes I AM BIASED, you see, I love three-wheelers more (because they are superior, he, he). Put your money where your mouth is if you don't believe me, I'll go head to head with your fancy quad, MX track, sand, drag, mountain trails, endurance race,....what ever. I will prove it physically in the flesh if you can't believe the research you should be reading. But I guess we can't tell you the quality since the 80's has deminished in cycles (cars, bicycles, food, contruction, etc., etc., etc..), in the last 20 years, seems you're to close minded.

why am i on a 3 wheeler site? because i love trikes. i love them just as much if not more than your regular old atv, but theres no denying the truth. when it comes to riding either or, its absolutely personal preference. i am insulting absolutely no-one, i dont understand how anyone can deny something this obvious.When it comes to utility bikes how many 3wd 3 wheelers are there? how many came with speedometers? tachometers? temperature gauges? belt driven variable transmissions? usable rack space on the front and back?. im not saying three wheelers are useless, they very much hold their place in society, and the big red honda has a reputation for one of the most duarable atv engines ever. but that doesnt mean everything modern is a piece of crap. Yes there is a slight difference in quality which can easily be overlooked by advances in technology. and no im not a certified bike mechanic, but neither are you.

Well one could order those options for a 3 wheeler back then. Just like most cars come with GPS now, but 8 years ago you had to order GPS with your car... Unfortunetly 4 wheelers and now UTV's have made the sport more family friendly. I don't think even Honda has released a new sport model since 2009??? ATV magazines cover UTV's now.. sick.. I wish dirtbike magazine would cover ATV's to get back at the ATV magazines for covering UTV's..

Most 4 wheelers these days need to have off road trails widened so they can fit on the old trails. All the trails in my area have gotten wider because of the newer 4 wheelers. The trails at St. Joe in MO. have been getting wider and wider since the mid 90's. Now St. Joe park in Missouri plans on widening more of their trails for UTV's... B.S. If your not into the sport, and don't like tight woods, or chalanges, and just like to put around in an open field then yes a 4 wheeler is a nice thing for you.

Any how like you said they all have their advantages depends on what they are doing. Its just on the newer 4 wheelers you need a chain saw to take with you in a lot of cases. And they are not as fun in most cases for me.

It makes me feel good, when my friend shows up on his brand new rincon 680 and I out run him and I get through just as much mud as him. Its also fun when I get stuck I can just push mine out and when he gets stuck he needs someone to come pull him out.

UTV are just a rich mans beater truck. It makes me sick Honda took the Big Red name and stuck it on a big turd. I bet those UTV's are about the same wheelbase as the old army Jeeps. All my neighbors with their 700lbs quads were shocked I took my three wheeler all through the woods in winter. And if anyone saw that video of the Canadian snow massacre on trikes, the 4x4 quad didn't make it up the hill once, so there's no reason to have made 3 wheel drive 3 wheeler.
