Fact or Fiction

[CurtG]

Well said

Sadly, we have become a society where the government feels they have to protect us from not only our own stupidity, but even the most minute possibility of an injury or mishap. By 2020 they may have even outlawed kitchen knives at this rate.

A certain percentage of the population wants a Nerf world and the percentage seems to be growing.

Ride safe,

Is this something we will see at the Arctic Cat dealers, soon ?

No one is saying, not even dealers.

This could be what BRP needs, in order to resolve some of the outstanding issues.

We shall see in due time

Well Folks, I hate to say this but I don't think we will see these trikes anytime soon.

As one of the members mentioned earlier, these are still a designer's concept.

The company involved with these trike is NOT Arctic Cat but Sabertooth Motorcycle, site below.

At this time this company doesn't sound to financially healthy, which is too bad.

If you visit the site you will see why, it is too bad, from a concept point of view these trikes sounded really good, Oh Well.

Thanks for the update! :thumbup:

"Artists scrawling something on a cocktail napkin", doesn't count... :shocked:

Artic Cat

Did anyone notice but it looks the foot shift is on the right side. Is that what I am seeing?

 

[Bob Denman]

Artists aren't engineers, so it's kind of tough to tell what that pedal's function would be. :dontknow:
For all that we know about that picture; it could have been the headlight dimmer switch! :shocked:

I copied and pasted the trike picture, then modified the Arctic logo, then added my 2 cents worth.

I was around when this company started. I was going to be one of their long term test pilots. The company was started by Tom Breadlove and the money guy was Ben Dalines. Tom was a friend of mine and he did most of the design and build of the bikes. When he left the company I lost contact with them. I had no idea they were doing a trike but you can bet if they do build this it will have a V8 in it. I wish them the best of luck.

By 2020, Soylent Green, the only food we will be authorized to eat, will be pre-sliced, negating the need for evil, crime-causing kitchen knives! They will be highly regulated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, Explosives and Sharp Objects. :roflblack::roflblack:

Fact some bikes had a shifter on the right side

My neighbor has an old HD Sportser. The shift lever is on the right side. Seems they were popular with flat track racers so they located the shifter on the "up" side of the bike when it was making the left hand turns. nojoke

Lamont, from what I have read, the engine was supposed to be a WEBER 850 cc, twin developing about 100 to 140 HP depending if turbo or not, the transmission was to a CVT, which sound good on paper.

Lamont check their site, I don't think they will make it, based on the financial info. floating around.

Which is really too bad, I like their design, and it is true, designers are not engineers, tell me about it.
