Will we ever see NEW trikes again?

[BEAVER.989]

What do you think, will any manufacturer ever step up and offer a three wheeler again? Call me crazy, but I think there's a market for one.

The die hard trike guys love them. While the used quad market is more or less in the tank, a decent used three wheeler usually sells for a decent amount of coin.

[honda400ex2003]

unless they are like the old 250r or something i doubt it. it would be sick though. steve

[Black Sheep]

If your thinking if Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, KTM, or any other big manufacturer then the answer is No.

However, that does not mean you can't have a Brand New trike...

That is SICK!!!!! steve

[BEAVER.989]

I'd love to have one, but I'm sure I couldn't afford it.

[roadthrills]

Yeah, same here.

[XR200R]

call HRE....www.hre-atv.com mike will build you a new one.

[chrisrzz1012]

Very cool trikes,wow. As for new trikes -nope. But I do see 2-stroke sport quads from the major makes coming back.

[Black Sheep]

Thank You,

I'm finishing up another one for a customer in N.H. I should have pictures up in 2 weeks

[LT250RMan]

Hey Black Sheep, Did you completely build a new frame for those trikes ?

[Black Sheep]

Yes and No, those particular frames i used a small section of the TRX frame ( suspension points and engine cradle ) and built a whole new front section to adapt CRF parts. However I do also build frame from scratch out of chromoly.

I just finished one up but my computer crashed so I can't get the pics until my other computer is fixed. I just started another one and hope to have it done within a month. I have a 250F I'm also working on and have 2 more 450's to make and a 500 two stroke I plan to have ready for a trip out west next in Nov.

[Black Sheep]

Here is one I just finished up. It now resides in Hew Hampshire.

I dont see trikes hitting the market again but those hybrid 450's are Saaawweeett!

[Black Sheep]

This one was assembled by our rider Eric Jensen from one of our kits.

[250ex_dan]

whats the price on one of those trikes?

[Black Sheep]

Sine they are custom built to order there is no "set" price.

the trikes you see in the pics cost anywhere from 7,500-22,000

ie:

#32 cost 20,000

#77 cost 12,000

# 2 cost 9,500

#44 cost 7,500

[CorvetteZ06]

The 500 is still under construction. The 450's have been selling so well I have to split my time. Hopefull they (yes I'm building more than one) will be done by Dec.

[Black Sheep]

Yes and no...how about a street legal 650R (NOT a XR 650L but a XR 650R)

Sweet! I don't see how y'all do it on 3 wheels! I have a hard time finding places to ride my quad where do y'all ride?

[Black Sheep]

Those shots are from all over the USA.

Me personally I have ridden in AZ, CA, CT, GA, IN, MS, NJ, NY, PA, UT, OK, OH, OR, TN, TX, and Mexico.

I was supposed to go to NH this weekend and knock another state off my list but plans fell through.
