I was wondering, how something like this would go

But more like build like an ATC, with 250cc motor, do you think the handling would be awesome ? Or it would just be not enough powerful because there only one wheel behind? Please light me with your ideas about that If I got positive points I might try to build it!
that has been done several times with quads. It doesnt work well at all. I think they even had a write up in Dirt Wheels a while back.

its called a raptor(not yamaha),i seen one drive by this summer.ja rule,that hip hop fellow has one.(i think i saw it on funk master flex)i think it'd be cool with a y2k jet bike in the rear.if you did a super reinforced chromoly frame,rollcage,it would be alot safer to wind out.i'd test drive it

I saw a roadtest of one on speedchannel, differnet then that one though. The thing supposedly handled pretty well. All the tires pivited with the curves, it was interesting.

Damn I need some pictures/infos :D
Thats what interest me the most.. handling..
It might only have one tire for propulsion.. but I try to think about it.. the turning axis must be very nice..
yeah yeah you dont have the "trike" feeling and the ability to wheel but :P We got the atc for that already dont we ;P
I really need some infos about this model in off road..
