    Absolutely not, I have had it drilled into me from a very young age that trikes are all the bad points of a bike & all the bad points of a car mashed together in horrible vehicle lol :)

    RickCoMatic no doubt would find one rather useful right about now. It could possibly keep him on the road a wee bit longer...

    If I go to a Trike, ... it's going to be a CanAm Spyder.

    I hate those things. I don't wave at anything with more than 2 wheels anyways.

    What's the point? Decreased cornering handling and fuel economy? That all equates to decreased fun and poor performance. I don't care if THEY rebuilt the motor, it isn't worth $12k. Add to that the fact that they rebuild the engine '35k km's ago' and you have a severely misadvertised vehicle, and a modified one at that. Total value to me: $100, approximate scrap value. Including tire disposal fees and such. MAYBE good for a title (in the highly unlikely scenario where the frame is unmolested) and the torn-into engine. I would rebuild it despite the "customizer's" rebuild of unknown quality. "No expense spared" to me means that they kept throwing parts at it until it worked again, not that it was done right. I'd expect something more along the lines of "Fully restored to OE-spec per Yamaha factory service manual (included) with receipts and measurements by an ASE-certified Master Technician" if I was willing to drop over $10k on a bike that qualifies for historic tags in my state.
