jamebo Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 i hope your joking? people do that on craigslist so that when you put a max price in then people can see your bike at a low price Actually, I wasn't. I haven't bought anything off of a craigslist ad before, though I have looked around on it a little. Haven't seen anything like that before, having not been on it much. I see what your saying, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapout94 Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 With the right rider, I'm sure it would hand most guys their ass pretty good. It's only on a 6 over arm, plus all that weight missing up front...I bet it's a wheelie machine. Is it gonna beat some cub drag bike setup right? No... but it does have a McCuny carb, and those are very hard to come by....legendary in fact..so you never know... :biggrin: and that was my point... only better phrased...

2twin350s Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 If that thing runs as good as it looks, that trike will OWN 98% of things it goes against,with the right rider on it..Anyone who thinks different is sorely mistaken.. My friend has one..86 T-3 with a KX 500 Motor built to a 580 that runs on Alky with a outframe and plus 10 swinger. At Trikefest 2007, he finished 2nd to only 1 thing.. These things were crankin 300 feet in the very low 4 second range. A guy brought a CBR 900RR with a trike swinger on it..That was the only thing that beat it. Watch this vid,you will see them drag racing,and you will definately see the CBR vs.the T-3 580.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBz7nlCOrPQ...feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsat Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) HONESTLY!! Who the hell wants and all chrome or polished bike anyway? I like to get too dirty and I am to lazy to want to polish that much stuff everytime I go for a ride. Ridiculous (solely a personal opinion) and always remember chrome wont get you home! plus it adds heat Edited February 23, 2009 by woodsat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellicoseBanshee Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 It does have a McCuny carb, and those are very hard to come by....legendary in fact..so you never know... :biggrin: dajo, I am not rying to defend this guy, but as I have mentioned before, the "craigslist police" will often flag and pull ads that mention brand names such as Mikuni in the originl product description. Too many cry babies on craigslist I suppose... It does make for creative marketing when one is trying to sell a product (McCuny vs. Mikuni, Holler vs Hauler, CTI vs. CPI, etc.).

rubberneck Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Trikes kick ass. Anybody who doesn't know how to ride a trike always says they blow. To each their own. I have 2 banshees and 2 trikes and they will never be sold. But if i had to choose, i would probably keep the trikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the latter is concerned, 17 years later... ...Hmm, I am not dead... Some have the skills, some have the balls, those still riding them have both. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
