    Thumbs down Another Bastardized Trike 250ES BIGRED at that

    What a freaking sight . That is one ugly bike. BigRed converted to a quad with a Suzuki LT250 Front end. WTF Worst of all the Bid is at $1200.

    What the hell would someone do that to a trike. If it was me I'd go buy a quad not make one

    A conversion yes, but it is definitely one of the cleanest and most professional conversions I have seen yet. I'd be interested in having a look at it without the plactics though.

    The funny thing is... That’s what I think all utility trikes look like, big slow and ugly! 0-60 in ????? seconds, that’s right! They couldn't go 60 mph if a nuclear bomb blew up behind it.

    Don't get me wrong its like the old saying "even the fat girls need lovin too" or "its like a fat chick their fun to ride until your friends see you on it".

    I guess they have their place. At LEAST they have 3 wheels. You aught to here what I think of 4 wheelers.............

    i totally agree!!! that is the nicest conversions i have ever seen,,,,, why wuld someone do that???? maybe they don't have the skills to feel comfortable on a trike or maybe they didn't feel like scrapping a good trike that to them has little value???? there are lotsa reasons!!!!
    If it was me I'd go buy a quad not make one
    dude its not you ,,, get a clue!!!!
    thats fugly,
    ACTUALLY IT LOOKS NICE WAKEUP!!!
    Um. NO. That thing looks like a morphadike.
    WOULD IT LOOK BETTER SCRAPPED/ cause the person felt unsafe on it???????

    Yes it would. Im sorry but those suzukis werent the most stable quads around either. Just becasuse its a quad doesnt make it more stable.

    hey you entitled to your opinion i never said that,,,, but i promise you if that was the only thing you had acess to ,, you would ride it and love it too!!!! i think no matter how poor that sport quad frontend is its still more stable than it was ,, besides its a utility machine that got an upgrade,, i know it won't be jumping in the dunes ,, but it would be a great workhorse just as it was ... just more user friendly,,,

    Man, that lousy lt230 front end is awfull. The turning is horrible, suspension action just plain bad. I had a suzuki lt230 that I traded for a yamaha 225dx. It was a terrible riding machine................

    All I am saying is that picking out comments and telling people to get a clue and wakeup isn't what this place is about.

    Enough said on that subject my west coast friend, after all, I am an east coast ambassador.
