why i ride trikes:

[trikezilla]

1) the looks you get are priceless
2) the comments like "wow, he must be nuts...or psychotic"
3) depending on the trike it can be faster and way cheaper than a quad
4) can u say illegal to produce??
5) i like wheelies
6) old school
7) theres is nothing like 70 mph on 3 wheels and a mean powerslide
8) kickin unsuspecting trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro
9) you can "explore" more w/ one as opposed to a quad or dirtbike
10) everyone knows who i am when i go riding with my buddies
11) i have seen more trikes in JAMES BOND movies than quads. i dont remember what movie but there are like 4 90's gettin a lil bit of air!!
12) we have a special class for racing..if they let us
13) we are almost the last owners of this dieing breed
14) can u say conversation piece??
15) they look cool dammit
16) race gas smells better when burned in a trike
17) they look good in the back of our trucks

I have a few more but if you have any POST EM!!

spend 4000 on a quad. and get a running used machine.

spend 4000 on a trike and turn some major heads !

[trikezilla]

gimme a HELL YEAH!!

[Pistonhead]

HELL YEAH bro, Trikes are kick ass! Nothing I like more than riding a wheelie and smelling the fuel burn, kick her over, thats the sound of freedom baby! Love to slide, and side roost. They turn heads like nothing else too!

MUCH tighter turning radius than a quad!

MUCH better power-to-weight ratio than a quad.

Nothing like riding one of the legendary "bad boy" trikes around your local riding place (ATC250R, TRI-Z, TECATE, etc.).

I can't help but hold my head up high when I unload my R.
It gets more attention than my brother's TRX450R and my buddy's Raptor for $3000-4000 LESS!

Speaking of money.....trikes are a smokin' BARGAIN if you buy smart.

I could go on for hours.

What an awesome post, thanks for starting it!!!

[trikezilla]

no problem dude...and dudettes- im sure there is a few of you on here! Man..i cant believe i forgot about the turning radius and power to weight ratio...BAD ME!!

[threewheelin-feelin]

friends dont let friends ride quads

[Kintore]

gimme a HELL YEAH!!

Dam right.. trikes are the best. They turn heads and they are 1/4 the cost and go better/stronger/awesomer/faster/quicker/and are down right just better!

[Pistonhead]

The key point is now made! Trikes are awesomer! Thats what I was waiting for, they are the ultimate paradox, they are cool yet badass at the same time! Hell yeah trike brothers and sisters!

you spent 4g's on a quad, I spent 9g's recently on a quad, lsr crf450r, roll design, elka, walsh, all hypers. Nothing but the best is on this bike, but......I still like my trike more, well I have close to 6g's in my trike

But I can sure see where it's EASY to spend a bundle.
BUT.....the initial investment is SO much lower.
Rather than plunking down $6K on a new 450R, for example, you can pick up a SOLID 250R for $1500-2000 and have plenty of money to "make it your own".

I have THREE sweet trikes and less than $3000 TOTAL invested.
See the pic.....the 350X is gone, but not forgotten.

Man, I love 'em to death.
Going out to my garage and seeing them there makes me smile.

Just wish spring would get here......I'm going into rider withdrawl!
TOO darned cold around here to ride!

[ATC crazy]

9) you can "explore" more w/ one as opposed to a quad or dirtbike

Now whats that supposed to mean?

[MTS]

heh, i do have to disagree with #9 i can get through more stuff than any on a dirt bike...

[a-camp]

Hmm. They are cool but lets get crazy. Love passing a $6,000 quad though.But I think they jump better and land better.
