Reverse Anniversary Trike

Thanks Bob.. Can't say I do but I appreciate the thought. The reverse trike look just isn't my favorite. :xszpv::xszpv:

Reverse trike doesn't do it for me either.

A friend of mine, an 1800 trike owner, test drove one and said he turned around a went after a block because it drove like a dump truck.

I have no personal experience with one but I'm not a reverse trike guy. Well, except for the Slingshot which isn't a motorcycle trike anyway.

Your friend is correct.
Along with the Can Am Spyder your continuously fighting those two wheels even with power steering.

Everyone needs to take one for a test ride and make your own judgment.

Just like my trike conversion, it rides just a little rough over to wheels but it stands to reason,
there's three wheels on the pavement instead of two.

I don't care for the reverse trikes but did get passed by a Slingshot yesterday.
Look real nice and cornered real faster then I liked to go on that road.

Having never ridden a reverse trike. Its not for me looks wise.
Its taken me 3 years to get used to the idea of a radiator on a motor cycle. "GoldWing"
Some of us are just traditionalists and like a trike or bike the way it was meant to be.
2 wheels must be air cooled.
3 wheels, the 2 wheels on the same horizontal plane, just belong in the back.
That's just the way its supposed to be..........................period.

But the way we see the world today has changed.

Speek for yourself kemosaby.....

I'm stuck in the old days still I guess. That and it's just academic now. I just spent the kids inheritance on my 2015 Roadsmith so I will definitely not be changing.... :xszpv::xszpv:

I would disagree with your friend to a point. Lots of Spyder's come out of the factory needing a laser alignment. Think of it like your car that won't track straight. You get it aligned and it drives pretty much straight. I personally don't like the factory sway bar that BRP puts on them. You can get a much beefier aftermarket one that makes all the difference in the world. In my opinion its much more of a stable ride than the a regular trike by having the two wheels up front.

The biggest thing on a Spyder is most folks who ride it for the first time have a death squeeze on the grips. The lighter the grip and you allow the bike to do its thing.

I had a 2013 RT and now have a 2015 RT. Both of them run like they are on a rail. You can remove both hands and it will track as straight as an arrow.

Granted it is a totally different experience than being on two wheels or on a conventional trike. Once you get the hang of it then you'll love it. I've know several folks who moved over from a regular trike and have learned to love it. YMMV
