2012 HARLEY trike. got it the other day from a seller in the hill country. had to sell my 2014 a year or so ago. like my replacement even better.

What are the advantages of a trike instead of a regular motorcycle?



Any disadvantages also if you can answer that?

You don't have to put your feet down at stops, two wheels corner better.

Older and handicapped riders often are the demographic for trikes.

My new toy (1982 FJ40 Toyota Landcruiser). Already has Chevy 350 engine / 400 Turbo automatic tranny swapped-in and power steering installed. Un-installed extras include a set of FJ60 axles and ARB lockers.

My old boss and his son (my age) rebuilt an FJ just like that. Built out LS, switched the manual to a 5 speed automatic, - the body pan was so bad I remember they cut most of the floor out and fabbed up new components and welded in drop-in repalcements wheret hey could.

The impala is a sexy car as far as modern sedans go. Folks had one and it was a comfy and roomy car. Leave it to GM to ax something when they finally get it good

Picked up a DR200 last month for the small cc rides

and tiddler runs. Not sure why but I’m drawn to the smaller cc bikes for some reason.

Took some getting used to I’ve been spoiled by automatics and more modern options but now I’m all in.

We had the version before this one. When I saw this version I wanted one. We had a 2014 before this one, traded in for 2018.

disadvantages are you lose the great feeling of leaning into the curves. just cuts down the feeling of being on a motorcycle somewhat. not as manuverable as a 2 wheeler

advantages are its much more stable.
dont have to put your feet down and balance it at a stop.
has a trunk and can carry loads (for a motorcycle) of stuff.
motors are the same, transmissions etc
i have been riding a 480 lb 2 wheeler. age, old broken bones, back surgeries etc finally took their toll.
we just got back from riding the palo duro canyon. lots of curves, some hairpin, all steep as hell descending into the canyon. my son rides a 94 harley dyna lowrider ( 2 wheeler). he just leaned into the curves and loved it. i had to slow way down and lighty "horse" the trike around the curves. i'm running close to 2000cc so power was no problem. i also carried all the water, tools, and emergency supplys that he has no way to do so. its all a trade off. but the bike keeps me riding and in the wind so, so be it.

I always loved the smaller bikes too. Mine Suzuki was a 185, but it was two stroke. Love the exhaust smell of a two stroke using Klotz racing oil.

I hardly see two stroke any more. Not sure if it’s because they are going out of favor, fewer new options, or just a general decline in riders. Ya, I remember they were all over the place 35, 40 years ago

They are trying to phase them out because of emissions I heard. They claim they make way more emissions than 4 strokes.
