Ninja 900 trike

Pretty cool. Reminds me of the Arial Atom

I knew of a guy in the Salem Oregon area that built a couple nice reverse trikes using FJR1300 Yamaha's. Scary fast. 145hp and not much weight.

This little beauty has shown up in three threads now...

That thing looks like it would be a blast to drive.

145 HP from a Kawasaki 900 motor. Maybe BRP should start sourcing their motors from Kawasaki. They don't even pull close to that from their 1330. Before someone starts talking about reliability......Jap bikes are pretty much bullet proof.

A great toy for anyone with enough $$$ (or insert the currency designator of your choice) and not in need of weather protection or carrying capacity. Although I'd much rather have the Ariel Atom I do like the standard "shorts inflating" feature on this machine. Great for summer days but not so good when driving through swarms of insects. I can't imagine an irritated wasp being unwillingly shot up my inflated shorts leg, for example. That would really peg the excitement meter in my opinion.

Cool. ..

Autocycle catagory but does look more fun than the others...We built one like it with a Gilera 300 engine and vespa wheels back some 55 years ago. Was scary cause cars were much bigger back then....:yikes: nothing like jumping out running up front and kick starting your ride....:roflblack:

BRP is way to conservative to make a screamer like this. But yes, they should outsource some of their major parts. It would improve reliability and lower the prices.

Did you ever run into any of the Ace Morgans that were being built out there?
They are unbelievably pretty!

I've only seen pictures. Probably looks really good in person.

I want one! As to the Atom - the Atom has 4 wheels. Back to the vehicle in question: Did you notice how it doesn't lift the inside wheel in hard cornering? I want one!

Excellent points and you are right on correct.
