Have you all seen one of these???

[djh3]

I walked by one of these today. Had to take a double take. I thought at first it was a modified CanAm. NO way For about the same price this thing would be more pleasurable I would think. Any guesses?

Looks like a Honda F6B that someone crossbred with a can am

The kit is a Sturgis Motoren reversedtrike.nl That's pretty cool!

From what the sales fellow told me today they sell them in the 32-37k range if I remember right. He said a little higher than a Can Am but hey you get 1800cc of probably one of the most reliable optioned out scoots on the market. I thought it was pretty dang nice looking. I like it a lot better then the other way around trikes.

WOW zzz WOW WOW WOW - is that AWESOME!! It almost looks like the front end is articulative (did I say what I wanted to say and mean what I meant to mean with that word?).. Like the rider is maybe turning the whole front axle instead of just the front spindles - probably an illusion.. Anyway,, COOL BIKE!!

Ok, so if I had the cash,, hmmmmm,, well,, I gotta admit,, me and that Carbon One, we kinda think alike I think.. I think I would go with a Slingshot just cause I like the looks of and the idea of having an adult go cart/Cedar Point Roller Coaster/roadster twisty carving side by side with a 170 horsies draggin my butt around!! Maybe I am wrong but it seems like the low sitting go cart would require far less rider input in order to control things once g-forces starting taking over.. I am probably wrong but I am a biker and I know all to well about how much body input it takes to really get a bike to perform like a race car in twisties.. I also know how much FUN go carts can be and, if I had the money to toss into something along this line I would ripping down to my Polaris Dealer and dragging home a Slingshot.. Probably be taking the body off it to make it look even more dune buggy/go cart RAW but yea,, 170 horse while sitting a few inches off the ground has my attention!!!

But if you took the body panels off.......Where would you put the stickers?!

doesn't Hannigan make a conversion kit similar to this?

Yes they do. I saw one at their Showroom and it was a very nicely done conversion.

I like this version of reverse trike, more so than the Can Am's due to so much Wing stuff out there. BUT at that $32k + cost the Slingshots at $20-$24k are a better bang for the buck. When one looks at costs of a conventional mc trike you're looking at $24k and up into those $30k numbers depending on make, model, & year of mc & trike conversion.

I believe we'll be seeing a lot more of these reverse trikes in the future & even more of the new wave of "auto cycles".
