There are 2 trikes in the picture
-
I am no expert but it does not look factory to me. Looks like a homemade deal that is either a modified quad or reversed trike ATV.
-
It's a quad with a modified rear. Notice the front tubing is round and the rear is rectangular. I think if it were factory it would be the same.

You can tell it's a off-road machine because the folks in the background are all wearing flip-flops which are, as we all know, the new adventure footwear.

It can't be factory because there is a Dunlop decal over the rear tire. And, of course, we all know Kenda tires are the only tires approved by the factory for 3 wheel motorcycles.....
My guess is a modified quad

They had two wheels in the back though Mike. Yes they were very dangerous and many young kids were injured on them. A friend of mine had a son
seriously injured on one. They were eventually scrapped and not allowed import.

This is for 3 wheelers and quads combined.
From 1982 through 2014, CPSC staff received reports of 3,098 ATV-related fatalities ofchildren younger than 16 years of age. This represents 23 percent of the total number ofreported ATV-related fatalities (13,617).
Here in lies the biggest problem, it was with the owners allowing children to ride them.
Of the 3,098 reported ATV-related fatalities of children younger than 16 years of age, 1,342(43 percent) were younger than 12 years of age.
Too often the lack of proper training, safety gear, and the lack of supervision is the cause of the injury or fatality, and yet it somehow becomes the machines fault.
During that same time period there were 111,462 motorcycle related deaths, over 8 times as many. Motorcycles have net been banned because the press hasn't make a big stink and uproar about it and blasted them on the news every night for moths as was done with 3 wheelers.
I am not trying to be argumentative, just hate it when a product is often blamed for things that could be prevented with proper training and supervision.

I broke my back on a Honda Big Red. Also if that bike was factory, it would have to have front fenders.
-
I'm placing my money that its a homemade job.
I do not believe that Honda quality would build a bike like that and put their logo on it.

After looking at all the Honda Quads.... this is definitly a quad with a nicely modified rear swing arm converting it to a single rear wheel drive three wheeler. Guessing that it would not do well against the four wheelers it was also modified for street use...Nice conversion....
