    Did suzuki ever make a 350cc trike? **PICS**

    A guy earlier today told me he had a honda 110, a mystery roller frame, and what he described as a 'Suzuki 350 racer with an a/m exhaust', and that he'd trade me them for my snowmachine. Well sadly I sold it before he sent this, so he said maybe I could trade him something else or just plain $$$. But Ive never heard of a 350 suzuki trike, couldnt find anything on the internet. Think it might be a 125 with some other engine stuffed into it? Out of the three, the suzuki sounds like it might be worth something if it is real. Anybody got any info or theories about it? I asked him to send a pic so if he ever gets one ill post it up here.

    I think they had a factory racer at one time, but it was a rm converted to a trike, it could possibly just be a ALT 185 trike with an exhaust on it, those top ends look bigger than what they should be, check it out you might find something cool

    do a search for suzuki trikes, this has been discussed a few times on here. suzuki trikes that is. from what i have read, suzuki only had the early alt models, 50, 125, and 185 i believe. suzuki never had a factory trike racer. they were one off custom made bikes. mainly rm's converted. never heard of a 350, but then again anything is possible. try and get some more info on this thing, maybe some pics to post up and we can go from there.

    Boy, I'd like to see that! I also always wondered about a Yammie 350, Hell, they made the BW350, how come nobody's done a trike conversion on one of those?

    I'm not sure they made a production 350, but they did make some that they brought out to the track. Problem was, there wasn't a class to use it in. When they ran open classes, they were meant for open 250's with all the mods. I think all of the companies were looking to go with a larger motor for racing... but that's when the crap hit the fan and productions on such machines were haulted. I'm going to contact the photographer who did our races in the Midwest and get whatever pictures I can from him. Most of them are B/W but I'm sure he would have some pics of any bike that came through the tracks back then. I even remember Honda was going to come out with a 450r but we only saw concept pics of the bike... not sure if they cut it or some lucky sport has it in their playroom

    Have you seen this machine yet? It could be a privateer machine that someone custom made or maybe a conversion like so many of our fellow board members have done with other brands.

    No, he emailed me and said he'd trade it and some other trikes for my snowmachine, and I never heard of one before so thats why I asked. I asked him to send pics so if he ever does ill post them up.
