This Yamanocker makes Frankenstein appear handsome! Yuk!

I believe these to be two different animals....but just my opinion

I can't wait to give it a try! I ride a ZRX 1200R and a 2014 TriGlide.

On another note have you seen the Vanderhall 3 wheeler?

Scooters max out at 650cc , you can lock up the front suspension on the MP3 at a light or while parking. No mention if it can be done on the Niken :Shrug: Being it’s over the 650 point they can call it a motorcycle n not a scooter. Mine rides/handles the same as a 2 wheeler. Was advertised to claim as being more stable in the turns. Will it sell ? Like it’s said there’s a a** for every seat . And time will tell.

Looks like a Lotus 7 with one less wheel.....

I would buy that before getting a slingshot. I don’t have a link to the Ace, but it’s like a modern Morgan. Jim

I agree about the slingshot...but I did take one out for a test ride, it was kinda fun, and basically affordable. I too would rather a Lotus 7 or a Morgan, but I'm thinking you could get 2-3 Slingshots for what it would cost for either of those. Someone on the site has a Lotus....can't remember who.....sorry. but I can't remember what I had for Dinner last night either!

HMMMMMM, I dunno Maybe

Reminds me of a Can-Am that lost weight.....:laugh:

I wonder what kind of oscillation there might be in these things when you hit some of the rough roads here in Texas as you go thru curves. Just not sure the thing will handle well here. And for the first time in a long time we even have frost heaves. Some roads are so rough now that it feels like you are going down railroad tracks but riding the ties and not the rails. Imagine that in a curve with one of these strange looking things.

 

[rhino 2]

I think it would appeal to the Boy Racer set....:laugh:

 

[Bubba49]

That’s just plain ugly. The fairing looks like ass and it’s as wide as two fairings. Would rather walk or drive a car than ride that thing.

If that's the best they can do they better stay in the guitar business.

 

[ISP-FL]

Now now boys, let's not get our panties in a wad and say too many bad things about these new Trikes. In 5 or 6 years when you go to the Trike Rally there may be 100 of these types of machines and only 7 or 8 Harley Trikes in attendance.

 

[RedOregon]

So much weird, all in one place.

 

[TGCarol]

Might be fun

Frost heaves? In Texas? Are you sure its not just the poor washboard grading coming through to the surface? I know of one road like that in the hill country. It’s not a 3-sisters road but is in their area so I named it the Ugly Step-sister road. It was a paved washboard surface and was absolutely miserable to ride on.

Nope, it's frost heaves from the crappy thin layer of asphalt they are putting down these days. Can't be but an inch or so. The stuff is so thin that it starts flaking off on the edges almost immediately. Nope, this road I'm referring to was perfectly smooth but for some reason they came thru and put this thin layer of asphalt last summer. After our 3º temps and then the sun popping out it's become a washboard with chunks along the edge coming loose. Looks just like the frost heaves I left in Missouri years ago. Thought I was clear of that crap.

That thin layer is called skimming, Saves money the first time, And job security for the road crews when they have to revisited it 6 months later to patch it...$$$$$
