      In 60 years riding motorcycles I've had wasps, yellow jackets, bees and all kinds of stinging insects find their way up my long pants legs and do their stings on my legs, I wouldn't even consider wearing shorts in a vehicle like this for that reason. Those open shorts blowing up allow way too much access to the family jewels! LOL

    Of all the reverse trikes on UA-cam,

    The only two things I would change would be a 1400 Kaw engine (HAAA!!! Why?....
    Because we can.) and a rear tire about
    14 inches wide and super sticky.
    Hats off to you, sir, for building a

  • @logotrikes
    @logotrikes 7 років тому +30

    From something out of your head transformed into metal, it's brilliant. I'm building something similar in Oz, doubt it will be as good as yours though, definitely not as light. We need a reverse here dammit, and we have the dreaded Australian Design Rules which now include the requirement to have the frame Xrayed and stress-crack tested. It looks as though your frame is mig welded, though I'm using tig, trying for neatness of welds to give the signatory engineer, who has to pass the thing, a warm fuzzy feeling, before it gets officially examined and approved for registration. I've a long and difficult road ahead, but as you alluded to in the commentary, persistence pays dividends. It'll be on youtube sometime next year so look out for it. Great job, thoroughly impressed. Don't concern yourself with the negative comments; most are jealous and many don't know their arses from their elbows and couldn't screw a nut on a bolt, let alone build something marvellous...

    • @CitizenSmith50
      @CitizenSmith50 6 років тому

      Apart from the dreaded ADR's, Laws vary from state to state, so even if you have something that is legal in NSW for example, you could get busted if you ride/drive it into SA (the Nanny State). The laws in South Australia are ludicrous. But our bees are lethal, so the comments about riding in shorts are valid!

    • @logotrikes
      @logotrikes Рік тому +1

      @@davespencer1951 I built it to the point of looking for a suitable motorcycle rear end. Built the main framework, front suspension and steering, pedals mounted, seating sorted etc. Quite a lot of work went into it, but we went to the UK for a holiday and we bought a little open car to drive around in. I suggested to my wife that I would like one back in Oz. She said sure but I couldn't have both. So we bought a little 2 seater Tigra and I scrapped the trike idea before I'd put too much money into it. The time gone into it was irrelevant. Being retired I've got plenty of time for hammering and butchering...
      That was 5 years ago and we still have our little roller skate...
      Appreciate the enquiry dude....

    Guy was real cool, let me look it over after I told HIM what it was which he was impressed by. He said everyone else asks what it is, where can I get one? After a long look I said " I already know the answer, but you know I have to ask."
    He smiled alittle and nodded. "Do you want to sell it?"
    The smile grew bigger, then
    "no"
    I've never seen another one.
    I did build a dune buggy using a volkswagen pan, a roll cage and powered by a 750 Yamaha three cylinder shaft drive engine. Mated the Yamaha output shaft to a VW clutch plate then slid it on the verge trans input. Engine sat "backwards" ( for a motorcycle) only issue was the output shaft turned backwards. I never got around to flipping the ring gear and carrier So we had 5 gears forward (reverse on the vw and five on the Yamaha) and 15 in reverse. (Three ranges on vw and five on the Yamaha)

      BTW, a Moto GP bike like that one has a power to weight ratio of about 1500 HP per tonne. So with the rider and everything it probably has about 3 times the hppt of this 3-wheeler. Go imagine...

My idea is a bit different: Imagine a Morgan 3 wheeler and your ride got together and had a kid. = Imaginary toy in my head.. Your trike, but a two seater... And motorcycle based so I can drive it by hand controls. Ram's head style control yoke.= aircraft/ motorcycle style controls. Auto so the bosslady can drive it.

  • @Ritalie
    @Ritalie 2 роки тому

    The reason this Trike is so much better than anything else, is becaue it uses the greatest sportbike engine ever made, aside from the 1340cc 2nd Gen Hayabusa engine. The 1999 era ZX-9R was a long stroke (tons of torque), 150 horsepower engine that ran in the 9 second bracket on a stock motorcycle, on a stock motorcycle with no wheelie bar. The inline 4 cylinder is what makes this thing into a genuine work of art. The V-Twin engine on the factory Bombardier trikes pales in comparison to the inline 4.

  • @kamikazeyamamoto4545

    3 reasons:
    1. It would look better.
    2. It would provide some level of protection from birds and bugs.
    3. Nut sack protection (most important).

      Yeah the ZX-14R has more power, but the Vmax is essentially two V-twins side by side. A Vtwin makes it's power down low in a way that most i-4's don't.

      It is, but compared to the wight of the stock ZX-9r, that's a lot.
      I'm guessing OP doesn't ride sport bikes, because a normal motorcycle rider would not be going on like they were gonna die; they are used to the speed and exposure. The trike is probably a lot safer actually, at least in terms of single vehicle accidents; it can spin out without pitching you, for example.
      On the other hand, it probably corners & brakes better than the motorcycle, due to lower center of gravity. That's gotta be fun, and maybe a bit scary.
