    Default Is this really creating a true Off-Road Ryker?

    I typically like his videos. He's entertaining, creative, and seems to be pretty knowledgeable. However, don't understand his issue with Spyders/Rykers. A lot of folks don't consider them motorcycles b/c they have 3 wheels and b/c BRP provided additional safety features. I get that something may not be your cup of tea, but some folks just seem to hate these things for no reason other than they're different. This isn't the 1st off road Spyder/Ryker that I've seen. They did a good job in such a short amount of time.

    If you want a off road bike buy one. Why turn a street bike into something when there is already something built for the mud

    Default Creating a true off road Ryker

    I stumbled across this video and thought it was kind of amusing.

    All those videos are of the same machine. Silly and not remotely even a reasonable off-road vehicle.

    To attempt it would take a major increase in ground clearance with protection. Then tires with off-road tread like paddle or large knobs for tread. Three wheel drive would also be welcomed.

    When I think Rally, I think of WRX's and Evo"s hauling down gravel roads.
    Not Baja or King of the Hammers.

    I don't think that these two dudes that are on Youtube are all that serious except for the fun they have coming up with wacko ideas. I'm sure they didn't take the idea too serious of turning this Ryker Rally into a super off road 3 wheeler. Looks like a fun job(?) to me. Here's some more crazy ideas that they came up with.
