can't trike it,has'nt got a reliant engine.
i used to have a reliant trike,it was horrid,but i loved it.may just tidy up the loose ends on the gsx n' keep it as a hack,funny but for some reason,and i dont know what it is,i just cant get attached to it.i've owned and built/modded/restored over 50 bikes,everything from mz's to brits,japs,ruskies,chops,cafe racers,enduros,n' this dont float my boat.

I had a 955i Triumph Speed Triple a couple of years ago. I loved it -a real hooligan bike. Never had anything with that sort of performance before & found myself travelling at stupid speed everywhere. I sold it after a year cos I was either going to lose my licence or my life, or both & bought a CB1000 Honda. Big red sports tourer thingy. Similar top speed but just mind numbingly boring. I'd ride 100 miles on it, get off & walk away without even glancing back at it.
Some bikes just don't press the right buttons & some get right into your soul.

Yeah, I thought so too. No-one else agreed though -& Simon wanted his wheels back.  |

I used to till I got in trouble with Jojo who helped Bruce build my trike - down at Poole Quay one night I was looking at his Hayabus trike and he overheard me saying I couldn't see the point!
We got into conversation about it and he said he still loved the Busa and wanted the speed and accelleration but he didn't want it falling over on him again! I agree they don't look prettytho.

I'm not keen on bike/trike conversions either -they always look like exactly what they are -a conversion, not a fully fledged original build. I would've taken the tailpiece & rear subframe off & fitted a big solo saddle in it's place. I just liked it's chunky look.

When I was having mine MOT';d at U-Drive in Poole a bloke from the hire place asked me if mine was a conversion or whether it had been built that way.
