I can't even begin to think about the things I'd rather do with 40 large than that. It has almost zero aesthetic appeal to me. It honestly looks like it was a 1986 home build. No style whatsoever. For that kind of money, you can fully load out a street glide trike, or even a tri glide ultra classic. You'd have a full warranty, 3x the style, and best of all.. you wouldn't have to be seen on that.

So I get there at a steakhouse they broke down at and here's Frank and his bud chatting with a couple of cougars in a Suburban. I asked if the Suburban was the problem and he said no, it's over here. Walk around the Suburban and here's a 350 cu in making 450 published HP, cam, headers, Hilborn injection, sitting in a Trike. Yeah, a three wheeler. A full automatic transmission being pushed by 15" wide tires. This is without a doubt, the ultimate butt rocket! After I found out what the problem was, I took it for a short ride. A very quick but short ride. It'll hit a hundred before you can spell yer first name. Incredible power! I want one! Here's what they look like and are for sale if you can stand the price tag.


And the problem was the throttle cable came loose. An easy fix and well worth the 120 mile round trip to fix. the above pic is a gallery pic but the one I fixed is identical in color and apparent options. They are called Cheetah Choppers. This one retails for $36,900.00
Hey, that thing's got no RADJATOR. I guess for the way it'd move, you probably could air cool it.
$37k and the whole thing is made of flat stock, like some farmer made it? Shame on 'em!

Its ok I guess, but I could buy a new ninja Rice rocket (big enough for me) for $4,000 NEW, and a older mustang (93-00) and still have enough left to pay my debts off and then some.

Looks like the radiator is in the rear.

FWIW, back in the day there used to be a small company that made trikes with air cooled VW Bug motors hung off the back.

Can't see the radiator, but you can sure see the lower hose heading back under there. I'm guessing it's right behind that round tank - is that a fuel tank or a coolant tank?
