    Question Lets see how smart you are.....It's quiz time!

    I have the book, so I know the answers but I'm just curious if anyone can answer any of these ?'s

    What 3 wheeler was used to make the 1st 4 wheeler prototype?

    What year was it?

    Who was the man that designed it?

    What looked extremly weird on the prototype?

    What did Honda sue Yamaha for (pertaning to 3 wheelers) and won?

    When did the 1st quad hit the showrooms?

    Tough ?'s,I know. I didn't know a one till I read it.

    If you have the "book" your disqualified. Lets leave it roll a bit and see what kind of answers we get.

    I won't comment on any answers for a while. This might be fun ?

    Like Monday night football, we'll have Sunday night quiz time.

    Looking at the prototype you'd be shocked though. I never knew there was such a "thing" made. Can't say too much or I'll give it away. Looks pretty funny.

    OK, I'm going to say the quad was modeled of the ALT 50???? And was in 1982.

    The first quad hit the showroom in 1983 is my guess.

    EDIT: Hey, what are the prizes anyway!? hahahaha

    I thought honda made a prototype 4 wheeler in the late 60's but opted to go with the 3 wheeled design.

    I'll guess but this is assuming your talking about mass production.

    What 3 wheeler was used to make the 1st 4 wheeler prototype? the Suzuki ALT 125

    What year was it? 1983 (quad came out same year)

    What looked extremly weird on the prototype? Either the no suspension in front or the tire size

    What did Honda sue Yamaha for (pertaning to 3 wheelers) and won? The ATC Title

    When did the 1st quad hit the showrooms? The Suzuki 230 quadsport was like 1978 so i'll say that


    How close am I?

    I wear a cap underneath so mine don't smell. Just chuck it in the wash after a long day's ride.

    So many idiots that can't ride a motorcycle, so few hours to put my boot in their seat!

    I can answer the first four if I can use my old 3Wheeler/Dirt Wheels mag. seen the story but forgot which mag it's in. I qualify because I'm using a different source, correct?
