Suzuki made 3 different Production 3 wheelers. ALT50 ( Trail Buddy, 2 stoke ), ALT125, and a ALT185 ( both 4 strokes ). Now if the machine your brother is looking at is a Suzuki 250 then it has to be a Factory racer. If it is you better go along and get pictures of it. This would be one rare machine.

If it is a 250 two stroke, then it is probably an RM conversion made by a privateer. Still, a Suzy-Q racer would be exceedingly rare, even if it is a conversion of an RM.

The factory trikes are probably even harder to find. I don't know how many "real" factory racers Suzuki made, but I've got to believe a lot fewer than the other major brands.

That would be pretty cool to see. Sure it aint just a motorcycle motor in a Tri-Z frame with 'Zuki stickers? :)

Heres the story of it never seen it. Many years back this kid was bringing back this Suzuki 250, all i know it has paddles, new clutch, twist throttle, and it has six gears. The kid finished it one night, and whent out for dinner and he was t-boned at 90 mph and was killed. Never got to ride the machine. The same week his other brother had cancer and died. That sucks, but he was building a 84 honda 200m with a m10 rear suspension kit. Both of these where locked up for about 6 years never to be touched. I recently got world the father brought them out and paid to have the honda running again, and the suzuki sucked in the rotton air filter and clooged the jets.

I didn't say I was the only one. I just thought it was funny to say because that's a tag line under some of the avatars, and this thread is supposed to be about a factory 250 Suzuki racer.

I thought others would get it, maybe it was not that funny after all. Oh we'll....

Mine was a joke as well. Welcome to the ALT50 club. Fun aren't they!?!

Yeah I have to wait another year or so my son can get to ride it, much more kid friendly than the yt 60. Back to the topic, I'd like to see a Suzuki 250r 3 wheeler! Dang this thread is almost 7 years old.

It is 7 years old, who cares if it stays on topic? 3 Wheel Drive, why dont you ride the ALT 50? You will love it. I bought mine from Jon at trike fest for my daughter, She likes it, but I think I like it more.

What makes you think I dont ride it? I just said my son needs to grow up a little more before he can ride it. I own 3 YT60's and they are much faster, especially with the new dg pipe and c/f reeds. I ride all of my trikes, the ALT 50 not so much.

I don't know I just assumed since you didn't say anything about it, that you didn't ride it. I guess that's what assuming gets you huh? Lol

Hello everyone,

Not to change the subject but I'm looking for the instructions on how to finish the ALT50 plastic. I'm in the middle of sanding the front fender down but I'm only going on memory. If someone could point me in the right direction then that would be great.

Thank you
