    If funds were unlimited ,,,,,,,,, think bigger guys!!!! duh!!! unlimited!!!

    i would hire a formula one research and development team to build a 200hp ATC500R that weighed 150 lbs,,, ahh heck why not 300hp,,, 500cc gp bikes probably make 150 hp already

    i am sure there are hi-tech alloys that are lighter and stronger than titainium you know funds are unlimited,,,,, with active suspension and traction control you couldn't screw up electric paddle shifter on the bars so you can shift without lift ,,,, it would be fast,,,,,,,,, then when its finished chrome it,,,,,,, and do all the fenders in carbon fiber too

    I'm not so sure I'd have NASA build me a custom trike. They haven't had the greatest luck here lately.


    I would have D.E.I. and Jeremy McGrath design teams work together.

    I figure they could biuld me a custom trike that could run 200 mph at Daytona and a few triples right in the middle of it would just be for fun at that speed.

    I would put a Yamaha R1 streetbike engine into a modified Lonestar baja 250R chassis, with Gibson 19" long travel suspension front and rear. Bore the engine to 1200cc, port & polished, with nitrous oxide...

    And then something similar with a ATC250R and the CBR929RR engine
    [20:55] <waterpumper> putting a racing pipe on a Foreman is like putting a high dollar bikini on a 400 pound chick...just because it fits doesn't mean it looks cool

    I'd have Totally restored and mint 110, 125m, 250es and 350x
    I'd have a 250r that was tuned to the eyballs with everything but I would have that paint that looks like rust and have everything looking really knackered and rusty, then I'd have bets with guys on big quads for big $$ and smoke 'em! I also have a big old Dodge van with a 900hp V8 in the back and smoke people the same way!

    Just get a Viper engine and put on the Venom 1000 kit on it for 1000HP and 1100lb of torque...

    ok all you nasa scientist and car buffs back to reality. the question was what would you do to YOUR trike ie. 110-350X would you build it for show or go? lets leave all the fantasies for our nightime dreams. if you could take the trike you own and build it all show or all go what way would you go???
