caused the bike to do that? The guy with what appears to be some sort of compressed gas tank on the back rack took her out. You can see him just bump her before she takes the dive. |

It depends on what reverse trike your thinking about. I've ridden the BRP Can am amd it's s fine machine. Smooth, fast and handleing that is now beyond predictable. It also will set you back a bunch of bucks.
I've also ridden a chineese "knock-off" of the can am that was cool. It was a bit slow and although it can be said that the handleing is predictable you "drive" it as opposed to riding it. Without the computer stabilizing of the can am it can be a bit of a bronco. Lots of fun but no room for daydreaming. The high point it will only do about 50 mph tops and that's just fine, any faster and the bike would be very squirrly.
Owned a MP3 for a while but it just wasn't for me. The mix of trike and scooter just seemed strange, to me anyway.
Never ridden the Sunny RT/s but those who own them seem to be happy. There were major issues with both types of chineese RT/s early on but it seems that's been reduced.
If you buy a chinees RT it will be important to learn to set up the front end yourself. Hard to find shops that will do that kind of work.
All the best.

You can take the highway without a problem.
You should think about making it a road trip. Come up the middle of the state. I just rode from Jax to Plant City by way of Rt 19, cool ride.
Let me know when you get here !

Grapevine says he's getting back to the basics of scooting. A tad smaller and more "scoot-like".
Love the Burgmans but its a load of bike when it's not on the highway.

Or buy from one of the numerous local guys...?? Great call. There are a bunch of shops here in NE Florida that have the same scoots in stock that you'll find on the net at the same prices. Add the support and its better than a drop shipped bike. |

Pretty ride. Even with the pricing there will be a market for it.
There's always folks with some money to burn, thank God.

Hi good to be here. Been reading this forum for years.
My first ride was a scooter in 1976 and I've had one in the garage ever since.
Nice to meet you all.

Not to mention that Florida has the most scooter dealers in the USA. (So I doubt Chinese scoot sales will be stopping any time soon,.... too much tax revenue to lose ) And, too many retired folks that still like to ride, but can't hold up a Goldwing. and a ton of college kids with very little $$$$$. |
