That needs to be in the thread containing the Kaw Green R1. Talk about ugly.

And stupid as far as that goes.

Re: Sheep....WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!!

I'm gonna have to disagree. I think it's pretty neat in its own way. Kind of like a reversed, more bike like T-Rex. That rear end actually looks very well thought out and built. Much cooler than the 'Wing trikes, although a bit less functional. Throw a set of bags in there somewhere and that could be the ultimate commuter vehicle.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. The fabrication on that rear looks pretty good.

Not nearly the abomination of most trikes.

Excuse me guys, this is where the owners of RC's express their deepest anger that anyone would do this to such a fine machine. Take your of the vehicle elsewhere.

Re: Sheep....WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!!

No love, but I can appreciate decent fabrication for what it is.

Not too overbuilt, nice IRS set up, slick looking little differential...

I say it's crap. They've ruined a good bike.

Then again, it is only an RC.

Can you say understeer? I bet that thing pushes bad.

Still, would be a cool toy for a paraplegic or amputee.

UGLY bike. I can't believe someone took time and effort to make a wonderful motorcycle into that. Why not buy a convertible if you don't wanna lean?

I can think of only one valid reason. Met a fellow that could not walk well enough to ride. The only way he could was on a trike (but re ruined a Harley at least)
