why do YOU choose 3 wheels?

['83 250R]

i like the fact that people can be like so how slow is that peice of junk and i say slow enough to pass *Edited**Edited* 4 wheeler in 5th in a wheelie and it cost a few grand less! i have grow up on them and i am on my 5th 3 wheeler all i paid for my self and im only 16! my current 3 wheeler "250r" kept me from gtting my licences because im an idiot

Mainly I like my 250es when I get stuck I can manhandle it out. It does everything I use it for. having suspension helps. I still can pull a trailor for hauling a moose out of the bush. Turns on a dime.

I just like it because when you pull up on a nice hard to find trike (the tri-z is one bike I have never seen another guy ride unless we have a trike get together). My Z turns heads out on the trails or Poker Runs

I like them because you can go places a four wheeler wouldnt be able to.. and easily get around obstacles. and tow a trailer through tight trails. But the main reason is the mud baby! you can sink the damm thing and just get it right out..

Its just one less tire I have to replace.

my brother atc-eric bought an 84 200S back around 2001. it was mint and we rode the life out of it. after trying to ride my yamaha 250xt enduro dirtbike around a muddy state park (finger lakes) and having trouble just moving in wet conditions while eric was riding circles around me, I decided a trike or quad was the best bet. I bought a 250sx and restored/modd'd it and loved it. between eric and i think we have or have owned something like 12 or 13 trikes total.

3 wheels are better

I got into them not only because of the power to weight ratio but, the power to price ratio.
Even though I don't have one, a liquid R is a perfect example. What other machine comes with 40hp stock and can be had for less than $1500 in nice shape.

[Russell 350X]

I started riding trikes because I couldn't afford a quad. Picked up my first 82' 185S for 200$, and fell in love with it. Ran it into the ground. It went anywhere the quads around here would go, and it was cheap and easy to maintain. I also love tinkering with them. Every weekend I'm out in the garage messing with them because I enjoy doing it.

[The Goat]

I think my next project will have to be a 200s. 200x head with a little port work, spring kit...high comp piston. and some 25s on the back with the right gearing. slinger!!!!

Was given an 1983 70 by my Dad in 1985 when I was 9 years old. Been mental about Honda ATC's / ATV's ever since. When I outgrew the 70, moved on to quads but always vowed to buy a mint condition ATC 70 which I managed last year, next is a Big Red 250 but no mint condition examples seem to exist over here in the UK - haven't ruled out shipping one over from the States. Yes Im that crazy

[hoser]

My first 3 wheeler was a ATC90 I bought it because thats the only ATV being sold at the time, you got a Honda ATC90 or you rode a mini bike or motorcycle.

Today I still have three 3 wheelers but also have and ride 4 wheelers.

[steven 250sx]

for me they are just easier to work on and the looks you get from other people. I could be in the garage working on my bike and still have random people come up to me and ask about it, my fav question i ever got asked was "is that a fourwheeler missing a wheel or a dirt bike with an extra wheel"? i loved it couldn't help but laugh

[SWIGIN]

i dont choose 3 wheels....i had enough of that in the 80s (no knees left)

[Ryan.]

i choose 3 wheelers because i like to be called names for liking them

[3 weelin geezer]

It was sitting in a garage all piled up with tool boxes and a flat tire. I inquired about it and it was offered for sale (sarcastically...you know how that goes). It was the right price so I scored it.


My favorite stupid question is: "Aren't those ILLEGAL??"
