Missile engineering I'm sure has been a topic of conversation (especially lately since there's talks of them coming back).

Missile 500 anybody?
Single rear wheel?
Fuel cell underneath the seat?

Maybe someone can shed some light on what I have here. It's an XR500 desert bike I guess http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g171/hsvkidusa/Mobile%20Uploads/20151116_072153.jpg (http://s56.photobucket.com/user/hsvkidusa/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20151116_072153.jpg.html)http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g171/hsvkidusa/Mobile%20Uploads/20151116_203805.jpg (http://s56.photobucket.com/user/hsvkidusa/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20151116_203805.jpg.html)http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g171/hsvkidusa/Mobile%20Uploads/20151116_203817.jpg (http://s56.photobucket.com/user/hsvkidusa/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20151116_203817.jpg.html)http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g171/hsvkidusa/Mobile%20Uploads/20151116_210401.jpg (http://s56.photobucket.com/user/hsvkidusa/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20151116_210401.jpg.html)http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g171/hsvkidusa/Mobile%20Uploads/20151116_210420.jpg (http://s56.photobucket.com/user/hsvkidusa/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20151116_210420.jpg.html)http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g171/hsvkidusa/Mobile%20Uploads/20151116_210900.jpg (http://s56.photobucket.com/user/hsvkidusa/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20151116_210900.jpg.html)http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g171/hsvkidusa/Mobile%20Uploads/20151116_211023.jpg (http://s56.photobucket.com/user/hsvkidusa/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20151116_211023.jpg.html)

I don't think they were ever gone. The one person I know that has the 250r version hates it. It handles horrible. The frame geometry, rake and trail is built for three wheels and doesn't work well when converted to two.
