Member Contributer Cogswell Posted February 24, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted February 24, 2022 Not sure what to think of that. I never got the 3 wheelers thing - takes up substantially the space of a car, but you're out in the open like a bike. Seems nicely executed for what looks like a home built rig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, seems to be the worst of both worlds. Sure is different though and nicely done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it's worse than the worst of both worlds because, as VFRD member BrianF mentioned to me a few years ago, it's a three-track! You can't avoid that pothole, speed bump, or dead skunk in the middle of the road. (that being said, someday when I can't balance any more and dementia is setting in I will probably purchase a CanAm) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted February 24, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted February 24, 2022 Danno, just noted the Dark Side comment. Couldn't agree more. A car tire makes much more sense and would be cheaper and last longer than a M/C tire in that application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer tbzep Posted February 24, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted February 24, 2022 With so many wanting more power from our VFR's, this guy goes and adds a crapload of extra weight. I'd want nothing less than a Busa or ZX-14 motor shoving something like this around! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted February 24, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted February 24, 2022 ....Reverse trike similar to a Slingshot or a T Rex. Custom built using a Honda VFR 800 sport bike. Constructed with tubular steel frame and fiberglass over foam. Front suspension is custom designed air with a onboard compressor and nickel platted. Dash and console is made of solid walnut. Very quick and handles like it is on rails..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeper Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I love that the roll bar is braced to the rear subframe. Wonder if the recall was done?😛 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer bmart Posted February 24, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted February 24, 2022 I agree. no thanks! Folks tried with the mighty FJ1200 back in the day: Quality, quality, quality. One of many side rigs: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer St. Stephen Posted February 24, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted February 24, 2022 Sometimes it's better to build your own from scratch instead of mutilating a perfectly good VFR.
