    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think these are super cool looking and they remind me of a childhood cartoon - The Jetsons! I like this trike. To each their own - I still stand by the Suzukis being the worst. They are terrible looking, and handling.

    Kinda funny to see all the hate for Tri-Moto's. My YT125 has been the most reliable wheeler I've owned...mud, water, snow, rough terrain it's unstoppable. It always fires up on 1-3 pulls no matter how cold it is outside.

    Basically all non Chinese made bikes including Honda's are very reliable as long as they are properly maintained and ridden the way they the mfg's intended them to be ridden.

    It's mainly when they don't get serviced....ever...and are left outside in the rain and snow, or have snorkels installed and are ridden under water etc that they may become resistant to operating properly.

    true that, my 185s was ridden hard until i got it, wheelies, jumps, float trips (creek runs), etc. and i am the fifth owner of the trike. when I put the rear bearings and axle in it (Right after i got it), my friend couldn't believe the difference in how it rode, apparently the bearings were worn out all the years he, his brother, and later my brother owned it. i also replaced the carb and most of the seals on the engine. it still ran despite all the abuse it took (and always left it out). i dont exactly baby it, but i know i'm easier on it than the last three were. of course, its had a new engine since my brother bought it, but that was the only work he did on it.
    Never forget the past , but dont dwell on it.

    as far as worst trike, i dunno if i could really consider one for the worst, but the front end on a Suzuki ALT is pretty ugly to me.

    I guess, the ATC 70, or any of those small (under 90cc) trikes, but only cause i would be too big for one! it would be like owning one of those pocket rocket bikes , except at least it would be cool to look at!

    From my personal.....Kawasaki will be the worse looking trike ever (Sorry to all the Kawi fans ) YAMAHA properly is the best looking.
