Just some outside input - I have 4 reverse trikes of my own and run Continentals up front and various brands on the rear. Average life on the front is 40-45k and rear a bit less at 32k. 16-18 psi...

Don't feel bad you are not alone!

OK I am involved with motorcycle owners and trikes and the very first question I ask a new tester is " have you ever ridden an ATV or snowmobile?" In general...

Historically trikes have always been marketed as a compromise to motorcycling. You have heard it I am sure, "when I get to old to hold up the bike I will go with a trike - if I have to I guess" of...

Sway bar is a good option as it will hold the trike more level during cornering. Try using a stiff arm for turning, meaning instead of just turning the bars lock or semi lock your outside elbow, this...

1. How easy was it to migrate to a Spyder from your two-wheel motorcycle, technically and emotionally?

It depends - I normally ask people if they have ever ridden ATV's most notably snowmobiles....

I ride all winter but only mandatory test rides around town (MN) and perhaps a few miles of highway if the roads are dry. Two wheels can be a real thrill when the roads are icy but 3 is not bad....

Pretty sure those old 750 fours would beat current day HD's (I own a Road King so I know)

I remember back when I worked at the Harley shop and HD stock was selling for 5 cents a share just prior...

i would have to say yes. At a selling price of $6800 there was no way a profit could have been realized. I would estimate $20-24k would have been a reasonable figure and perhaps at that MSRP a profit...

I would say any tire wear of this type is due to improper inflation and or toe adjustment. Laser is just a method and is not more or less accurate than other toe adjustment methods. A true alignment...

What leaning vehicle can do this, Not a spyder but close enough. Bikers and Trikers all in one.

Just one of the enhancements of riding a SportTrike – you can also be a biker! Today we...

Very nice posting Jason. I hear this a lot "The slingshot is not a motorcycle it's a car" they then go on to say " I would not buy one I will just buy a car" I guess somehow that makes sense but I...

I purchased a small hauler last year - Forest River 25RR which measures 30 tongue to tail. We just wanted the smallest toyhauler we could find that would be easy to pull and could hold one trike plus...

This is a bike Honda will probably never build. If you study the physics there is no advantage to a trike that leans. It's a neat novelty item that will draw attention but holds no advantage over a...

This is a great statement and the root of this all resides in the history of trikes and trike conversions. Prior to BRP and the Spyder the conversion to a trike was definitely a step down and a...

I design and engineer RT's for a living. My purpose was simply to say how far BRP has come since 2008. Tough crowd :sour:

I do work on all bikes with belt drive and in general 99% are way over tightened. The belts are really kevlar chains and should be treated like a chain. Most people feel tighter is better but this is...

OK a couple things, I don't own a spyder and never have but I am in a position to claim to be an expert in RT's. I may also be somewhat bias as the spyder could be a viewed competitor in my line of...

Smart man, yes from what I have seen many are running 25+ in the front and up to 36 on the rear - 16 or 17 is proper for the front and 24 on the rear. Wider tires normally take less pressure due to...

We just returned from the Deadwood Trike Rally. It seems to have been a great success as there were many diverse styles and brands this year. As expected many Spyders and this year dawned with...
