Im sure people have thought about it before. That would be a pretty sick machine. It could be called the the "tri-x350" or the "banthree". trikes are always faster than quads. :TrikesOwn

I saw it done once, wasn't able to ride it though. it wa skinda hillbillied, so I'm not sure if I would have wanted to, but someone shoehorned a shee engine in a tecate 3 chassis (i'm pretty sure it was an older T3) it looked like it was scary fast but it was kinda half-@ssed together

TriShee Zilla, killa. Yamaha shocked the ATVing world with their announcement last year of the intent to put the RZ350 twin Banshee motor into a Tri-Z chassis. Mid year, they offered up their promise in the form of the TriShee-350R. While the trike could be described as truely revolutionary and no-one could complain about excessive power of the mighty twin, the machine had some tremendous inherent faults, most noticeably that of an unpredictable, quirky sky climbing front end that would strike near the middle of the engines powerband and a horrible power wasting wheel spin at launch. Well, the TriShee-350R is back now for its first full year of production with many of the design flaws Yamaha claims, fixed. The improved TriShee350R features a completely redesigned air-box - fuel tank arraingement that now places the fuel tank above the engine and the air box below the seat. The swing arm has been legthened by 2" over last years model and the axle wider by an inch. Yamaha claims these changes have solved the handling problems - but we will determine that when we give the TriShee a full test in a future issue. The round tube chassis stays the same as last year as well as the terrific suspension numbers of 10" up front from the massive 42mm Showa forks and 8.66" in the rear. The rear shock is the same model found in the Banshee and features full adjustability. The disk brakes on the TriShee are top notch and the same as the Banshees as well. Tires are 24x8x11 up front and 22x11x8 rear. Colors available are yellow and blue, red and white, and corporate blue. Price TBD.
I guess it has been done...hahaha
4cylinders- Screwie lewies is awesome. i gotta get some sand tires and cali "ohv?" sticker.
