    Default Tryker Trike?

    So this came across my YouTube feed the other day. A two-wheel in the front, less powerful and cheaper "Spyder". It doesn't look very safe and after riding a Spyder...I don't think I'd want anyone in my family to ride it. Anyone know anything about it?

    Default Cute....

    There are quite a few out there these days. So far none have matched the features of the Spyder just the look at least on many....

    I wouldn't buy one of these cause quality wise I'm sure its "cheap ****" but......but.... I think think the styling is great. Less plastic, more mechanical's showing. Hands down a much better looking bike than and F3 or the RT. The Model S Spyder or RS/GS replacement (if one ever comes) should be more like this. Simple, bare bones...I like. Build it with quality parts and a 125hp engine for around $10K and BRP would sell a ton of them in my opinion.

    Funny how the speaker in the second video says "Fully Street legal in almost every single state in the entire USA"

    Looking at the specs, they say not legal in California. Probably an emission problem. Selling for $3,799. Top speed=55+. Looks like motorcycle tires on the front.....?

    I am not able to view the pictures shown. It sounds like the Chinese made knockoffs which were advertised heavily when 's first came out.

    At the time--2008 and 2009, new 's were selling for $15 - $17K. (the SE's were $1,500 more than the SM's). That was about it. One model--GS (2008) and changed to RS (2009). The RT version was introduced in 2010--and the rest is history. I bought the RTS (top of the line-Premier Edition). Cost for that was in the high $20's.

    I believe the knockoffs were selling for a bit less than $3K.

    The knockoffs were too good to be true, and you got what you paid for. Caveat Emptor. Am guessing they have not been much improved since. Probably okay for commutes--but I would stay off the faster highways.

    Also in a wait and see mode. Wondering a lot about the BRP--under $10K version. What's going to be different and what's going to be missing from what we have grown accustomed to. Time will tell.

    What makes you think it doesn't "require" the same safety gear that ANY non-cage vehicle ought to (as though one couldn't ryde a Spyder without ATGATT)?
