Phillips build aftermarket atv frames in the UK lots based on trx250r's and the front end is similar to a greeves or sidecar motocross bike set-up.

Lots of repeat info here. We can see by the pic that its a Phillips built bike. It clearly states that they are in the u.k.. Kevin Phillips is the rider. The front end is a leading link, popular in europe. Its a KTM500 engine. OK got all that for sure, now, does anyone have any first hand info on the machine or its components?

These were the three, but I'm not sure.

This is what I am looking for as well. I'd like to know what frame was used, if it's indeed a converted bike, what swingarm system they used etc etc. I'd love a ton of info.

Those three trikes look like they might be Yamaha's to me....

The front fender looks like a cut ytm fender.

Only kinda guessing on this though sorry

They do kinda look Yamaha-ish, that's for sure, but they do have some defining characteristics that are different from that rest, at least from what I've noticed.

The front fender on the 3 trikes above is first gen 250r.Gas tank in last 2 pics is also first gen 250r.

Good call, didnt even know they made slotted 250r fenders. Learning is fun!!

Here's some Husqvarna 250cc air cooled trikes. Not many photos of these either. Not sure what the white one is.
