    I guess if they did decide to produce the ATC500R it probably would have caused more accidents and more reason for the ban as alot of people wouldnt be able to handle that kind of power

    Dirtbikes, bicycles, fast cars, roller blades, and scooters are all just as dangerous as a 3wheeler....it all depends on the operator.

    I still can't believe they would outlaw trikes and not dirtbikes.... yah yah ome people claim that dirtbikes are safer blah blah... its still 2 wheels and lot less stable- you rely on balance instead of 2 wheels side by side in the back....

    There are so many things in life that CAN be dangerous, and that CAN be proven not to be 100% safe (walking across the street for example)... but that doesnt get banned.... its the government lowly tring to take away freedom and giving into special interest groups and people bitching and cauing bad publicity....

    If Honda were to remake the 250r 3wheeler now that the 10 year ban is up, you bet your ass I'd be one of the owners... if they were to make a "limited" number it would boost sales tremendously and they would see that people still want them....

    Insurance companies, atv trail parks/tracks, and the government need to realize that by denying people the right to ride trikes caues THEM to loe business.... If I COULD Id take my 200x everywhere and ride....but all the damn parks say no trikes...etc or its they must be registered and insured and then you cant get insurance.... its all BS

    An easy solution? No...but, it can be worked out. Making people take a 3 wheel operators course before allowing them to buy a trike? Hey, it really would only be about 3 hours long.....why not? Include it in the sales price. There is a company making 3 wheelers, and for the life of me I cant remember. But I think they are chinese, and a little cheesy.

    you know they tried banning the spyder right? And there main reason is that it does not have traction control. They are kinda fugly though.
