    Question Whats the WORSTE trike ever made?

    Which one had horrible engineering, insufficiant power, or was just plain un-reliable? The worst trike of all time.
    By the way, nobody better say "because it was way to fast (or powerful)", Because that just meens you don't have the ability to ride it!

    Whick trike was the worst in history?????????

    Hmmm... does it have to be an off road unit, or just something with 3 wheels?

    Polaris made a trike right? Bet that sucked....since all of their quads usually do. The predator is the one decent quad that roles out of their factories.......

    are you on crack? all of the 4x4 atv reviews of the polaris quads always say they are built like a rock and are more reliable than anything else if they are taken care of properly....i love polaris' quads, except some of the new japanese built ones like that gay phoenix or its utility bodied copy..

    Probably the 85 / 6 KLT kawasakis with electric only start, CDI, and the lock up diff,
    When they wouldn't start you were/are hooped. 400 dollar CDI thats impossible to find, pin breaks in the rear end its a 4 hour fix in a shop with the right tools, impossible in the field. That being said I still ride them and love them like my children.

    Polaris Trike

    Mik6 has a Polaris Trike and it is Super Cool. I allmost bought one a few years ago on E-Bay, I wish I did, I could of won it but it was in New Hampshire so I lamed out. The Polaris Trike is by far one of the more rare trikes, Great for riding and Chores around the Property.

    I think the Kawasaki KLT's? or the Suzuki whatever its called, are probably some of the worst from what Ive read, but I never owned one so Im not sure.

    I would also say those Kawasaki trikes suck pretty bad. Bud of mine bought one, could never get that damn starter clutch problem worked out. That was just one of the problems, it was by far the worst trike I have ever touched.

    1984 YTM225DXL owned since Feb. 2004 , 88 TRX300 4x4, 84 YT125 , 90 LTF250 , and 86 KLF300
    Also various other non running things takin up space
