Welcome aboard from San Antonio, Texas. I suggest you test ride several trikes until you find the one you and your wife can't go home without.

I copied and pasted this from another post you made:

Test rode a Honda VTX 1300R with a voyager conversion kit the other day. It was a beast to steer (hard to turn handles). Wife was on the back & we aren’t exactly small people...both over 200lbs. Is this normal? Any suggestions to make it better?

Try before I buy - hard to turn?

Brand new to the forum, (Hi everyone!) and looking at buying my first trike. Have had a motorcycle and a scooter in the past, but the test drive this morning leaves me in a quandry...

I've NEVER had such a hard time driving a vehicle (and I'm a "prefers stick shift to automatic" gal from WAY back).

It's a Burgman 650 with a trike kit... what I always thought was a dream machine for me. My SO has the 1800 Goldwing for long trips and I just wanted something for around town that *could* got out on the road if desired.

I expected a fun ride. Instead, my test drive was like a wrestling match with the steering. I'm no weakling, and it took all I could muster to make turns once it was above about 25 mph.

I've never driven a 3 wheeler before -- only 2 and 4 wheelers -- but it seemed terribly, overly difficult to make turns. It seems to turn fine when under 15 MPG, but with any speed it becomes pretty scary.

Is this just a "you will get used to it" situation and common to trike riders, or is this a problem with the used bike I'm considering buying?

Angela.....Welcome to Trike-Talk.....:wave4:....Ive never driven a Bergman. That said if you as you say driven a 4 wheeler ATV ?....Then you should not have a problem with any of the other trikes...IE; Harley, Can Am or Gold-wing conversions..:Shrug:...

But like i said i don't know a thing about a Bergman..

Angela.... I would walk away from that one real fast.

If it doesn't feel good now you don't want to waste time and money on it - fighting it - trying to make it feel good. Try something else... there are plenty of them out there.

And...

Welcome to TrikeTalk!
