    A black and blue tpc was for sale on CL years ago, I was scrambling to get the money together but the ad came down pretty quick. I'm just glad I got another shot at one. So used ones are out there, probably just not very often I would guess. The baddest trikes I have ever ridden are my own, both stock 350x and 250r. So this should be interesting. I wish those pics came out better. I have the bike stashed over at my dads so my wife wouldn't see it. Haven't told her yet lol. I just bought a tri-z 2 months ago, and another Yamaha 200 last month, so I didn't think a big trike purchase would go over too well. I'm going to go check it out again today though, I probably won't be able to ride it around till Wednesday.

    Thats great. I've been looking for a Big Red in my area and people keep flagging my ad and its removed. All I want to do is buy a Big Red and it pisses people off.

    Here's some better pics of the thing. That's about it for now, when I ride it I'll let everyone know what I think of it.

    As stated, morell is one helluva racer and likely beat the crap out of that motor. You might want to do a comp check

    Lol, he was honest. I know it's some guys race bike, but he did say he had it checked over and valves done. If I grenade it or the motor is shot I'll get a new one. I hear you know your way around an engine, maybe I'll ship it out to you one day

    Someone is building a pretty nasty motor for his 350X this year. We'll see how he does at the races

    Hope to see you at Kinston!! 200X and Open class...

    I laughed my ass off when I read you have the trike stashed at your dads house to hide it from your wife lol. I thought I was the only one that did those kind of relationship type of destroying things (hiding toys from the wife ). Good to know there is another man out there like ME lol.

    Just to clarify. That is true depending on the source of the engine.

    Here is a 2006 TRX450 stock dyno output:

    The TPC engine has a CRF 450 head and cam. I've read the motors are in the 50hp range. I have no idea if that's true, and I guess I don't care either, I know either way it's going to be the fastest trike I've ever ridden. And I still haven't ridden the dang thing even once yet lol! Kinda funny I'm not the only guy hiding trikes. This isn't my first time either, I've been known to Stash atc 70's....anywhere possible haha
