designated over there like the CB900F here there would be 919 Hornet ??

Hahaha, cool!. Apart from the cost of the various bits to make it legal It should be too exspensive.


EWWWWW, twist throttle, rode a 450R today with one.... Ill stick with a thumb heh.

Yeh it needs a thumb throttle can't get used to twist.....but Will you got to try them rear tires next time you come up........there awesome!!!!!!

slothminx
06-17-2006, 04:22 PM
Yes!, We will stick them on the Z and see how it handles with a proper front tire!

I prefered the YFZ to the 450R I rode LOL! I think it was mostly the throttle.

twist is way better!!! maybe not on quads but trikes and bikes for sure!!!

Anyway that Z is awsome! It would be so nice to have a road legal one. The only thing that would suck is that you have to have DOT approved tires, which would make it useless off road.....:rolleyes:

can't you get a wide road bike tyre for the front.

you see fat tyres on the rear of choppers all the time, wouldn't that work better than a car tyre?

That missle engineering bloke had some awsome looking TT tyres on the front of his creations!

I would love to see a road trike with a nice wide, rounded front tyre. About 6 inches wide 23 inches tall. Skinny front tyres or car tyres look goofy.

kings tires, on recreationtires.com is d.o.t approved. and are the sweetest tt tire out there. they are awesome on the road. i go road riding all the time, and the cops dont do diddly squat about it. the guy who lives four houses down from me is a new york state trooper and he even joins us sometimes, lol. i've blown by parked sherrifs, and they never came after me, guess they know that theres no sence in trying to catch something they just cant catch, lol. hahahahahahahhaahahahahahahaha, reminds me of a song...starts off "just the good ole boys...", lol, hahahahahha
