    Lol. Well look at it. It's about 28 inches wide maybe and can't spin the rear tire to slide into a corner.

    I'm gonna make an R version. I have a potential in on a missle kit rear end for an R. Then I will buy a trx250R. It won't be in the near future as I just started my TPC build but I will get it done.

    I think the main reason that thing does handle half way okay is because it is underpowered and is so low to the ground. But I would still like to see a video of an R powered one in action.

    2005 CRF450R Alum Frame build done, switching to inverts.

    Great video. Although the bike was a little under powered you can see how the rear kinda reacts in the dirt. That was a neat little build.

    Here's a video of the leaning bike above:

    back when the Can-AM was a prototype and in the final stages of testing they demo'd many to dealers all around the USA and my dad took it home for a weekend. since it was for testing purposes it was slightly beat up as dealers all around had been beating on them. so in the weekend we had it we took it on some of our trails we had at the time.

    it was horrible, no traction, plus when you started to get going the traction control cut power and you lost your momentum. wet grass was a huge problem. lol
    we did drag race a banshee with it and beat the banshee pretty good. (on hard dirt)

    maybe with no traction control and a better tire it would be ALRIGHT for maybe a dual sport model made to work on road and mild off road like rough roads or something.

    Purchase here and get it shipped and do a honda swap?

    Or...
    go the easy route and put a widened dirtbike swinger on quad.

    Awesome. Some of those overseas trikes look really cool, especially the one-sided swingarm, but I bet they r total pieces of sh*t. Just like most all the Chinese clone stuff.
