Nanny doesn't like to hitch rides on snowmobiles; street-driven or not!
I'll bet that licensing one of them would be a real kick in the ...

That picture appears to be the infamous 2003 F7 firecat which are very well known for being lightweight and crazy fast. Many grass racing teams still are very competitive with that motor/chassis combo. That thing would be pretty wild to ride

The kit costs $6,600 I can't imagine what a Arctic Cat 1100 turbo would be like on wheels without the nanny Throw a simple hijacker box on it and you'd have 225 hp on pump gas and weighing 590 lbs

Done that even though I no I shouldn't, but it feels so gooooood.

We can also beat them in revers.
Talk about beating them both ways

Sometimes. You get some of those insecure traditionalists that scream "if you don't lean into a turn ...yada yada. You need to be a million years old or scared to own a spyder yada yada. They are hopeless folks.

Actually with those kits and a used Arctic Cat in the 9000 series you could get a turnkey trike with 177 HP for $ 16K. Sure it has no nanny but .... in the straightaways that thing would be a total speed demon.

I find that with my 2012 RS-S most HD riders like the paint scheme, and I usually get friendly remarks. Where I run into issues is with the guys that bought a Harley for the image and/or to be part of the group. One guy told me his HD would " dust your POS" to which I replied; When do you want to race? I also love catching up to a vehicle with a HD sticker in the back window and seeing that vehicle speed up in the passing zones. It makes it even more fun when I pass said vehicle and get the 1 finger salute on the way by. I do not mind "stupid" remarks, as most of them are just a way to get the conversation started.
I also try to remember one very important thing: When I am out ryding, I represent all of my spyder brothers and sisters. So I normally try to play nice.
Just sayin'...........
Three in the garage, and I think I can fit at least one more in.....and then we will have to build another garage.
The roads in NY are so bad that I am glad we bought a Ryker Rally
Just sayin'............

When I had my GS and would get a snarky comment like that.... lighting up the rear tire for 20 feet or so usually shut them up....
Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

Even though this is an old post. I'll bite. I'd LOVE to take one of those for a rip. Add a relatively inexpensive computer tune to it and you're at 225 HP on 91 octane pump gas.

No one in my part of the world has ever seen or ridden a snowmobile. LOL It's not that it doesn't get cold down here we did have a heavy frost one day this last Winter.

When was this, in the 50's. Or maybe when AMF owned Harley. I don't know you but I'm still saying BS on this.

It was about 2 years ago. Sorry....they were.
And I really dont care. I like all models of motorcycles. Everyone brings something positive forward. Same with cars. I have a couple of Dodges....some get into the "Mopar or no Car'....again, many makes bring some neat vehicles to the roadway.

You and me both. I've only had my trike (2014 RT-S) for a month and it represents my entire riding experience in the last 25 years (2200 miles so far) BUT ... I've already top ended it (107) multiple times and can activate the nanny at will.
225 HP trike? Sign me UP!!. :-)
It certainly would shut the sport bike and Harley snobs up.
