Did suzuki ever make a 350cc trike? **PICS**

[Nick_R_23]

A guy earlier today told me he had a honda 110, a mystery roller frame, and what he described as a 'Suzuki 350 racer with an a/m exhaust', and that he'd trade me them for my snowmachine. Well sadly I sold it before he sent this, so he said maybe I could trade him something else or just plain $$$. But Ive never heard of a 350 suzuki trike, couldnt find anything on the internet. Think it might be a 125 with some other engine stuffed into it? Out of the three, the suzuki sounds like it might be worth something if it is real. Anybody got any info or theories about it? I asked him to send a pic so if he ever gets one ill post it up here.

I think they had a factory racer at one time, but it was a rm converted to a trike, it could possibly just be a ALT 185 trike with an exhaust on it, those top ends look bigger than what they should be, check it out you might find something cool

[scooterroo]

do a search for suzuki trikes, this has been discussed a few times on here. suzuki trikes that is. from what i have read, suzuki only had the early alt models, 50, 125, and 185 i believe. suzuki never had a factory trike racer. they were one off custom made bikes. mainly rm's converted. never heard of a 350, but then again anything is possible. try and get some more info on this thing, maybe some pics to post up and we can go from there.

Probabally a dr350 motor stuffed into a smaller frame??

[Vealmonkey]

if you mean a rd350, that is a yamaha engine.

[Chevy200s]

and if it is an rd350 engine, that thing would probably haul, lol. My buddy has an rd350 and it really goes. If it a suzuki definitly post some pics!

[Vealmonkey]

I have an rd350 trike, it just ain't finished yet. And the frame was made to take the rd350 engine.

[wolfspider]

dr350 is a suzuki trail bike :rolleyes:

Definitely gotta post some pics of that, sounds pretty cool

No, I mean a SUZUKI DR 350, as in the trail bike.

Probabally a dr350 motor stuffed into a smaller frame??Boy, I'd like to see that! I also always wondered about a Yammie 350, Hell, they made the BW350, how come nobody's done a trike conversion on one of those?

I'm not sure they made a production 350, but they did make some that they brought out to the track. Problem was, there wasn't a class to use it in. When they ran open classes, they were meant for open 250's with all the mods. I think all of the companies were looking to go with a larger motor for racing... but that's when the crap hit the fan and productions on such machines were haulted. I'm going to contact the photographer who did our races in the Midwest and get whatever pictures I can from him. Most of them are B/W but I'm sure he would have some pics of any bike that came through the tracks back then. I even remember Honda was going to come out with a 450r but we only saw concept pics of the bike... not sure if they cut it or some lucky sport has it in their playroom :)

Have you seen this machine yet? It could be a privateer machine that someone custom made or maybe a conversion like so many of our fellow board members have done with other brands.

[Teeksoffroad]

Have you seen a Suzuki race 3 wheeler ? I never saw any in the mags.

[Nick_R_23]

Have you seen this machine yet?

No, he emailed me and said he'd trade it and some other trikes for my snowmachine, and I never heard of one before so thats why I asked. I asked him to send pics so if he ever does ill post them up.

Alright he just sent me an email and he says it has a performance exhaust, and it has 2 rear wheels, a rear axle, and rear suspension, so im guessing theres a swingarm involved in that mess somewhere. From what he said it doesnt sound 100% complete, but theres a good part of it there. I asked if it was an actual factory trike or if someone made it into one. He also said he'll get pics in a day or two so I guess Ill have to wait and see what this really is.

He also said the 110 had kerosene put in the tank, but it was never ran or drained so Ill have to see what he wants for this. The roller frame I guess really is just a frame w/ handlebars, but it has sand tires and front forks so im guessing this was probably an X or an R (hopefully!!! :lol: ) or something similar.

Cool beans, hope it turns out to be something good!

[Nick_R_23]

Alright I finally got some :pics:

They werent what I expected, he described it as more 'there', but its still an interesting piece.

Looks like whats there is an earlier 110, a bare US90 frame, and whatever this suzuki is. The suzuki is that thing with 2 rear wheels in the corner behind the 110.

Can anyone make out what the suzuki is?

-Nick :TrikesOwn

[mean350]

that zuk looks to be a 230 quadrunner motor. prolly just a conversion.

[whipit]

that guy is a BS talker, that is just a rusty old junk quadrunner frame and motor with the front end cut off.
there were NEVER any production 3 wheelers from suzuki other than the alt 50, 125 and 185. why does this keep coming up? wishful thinking maybe

[SYKO]

mean 350 has it, the 185 and 125 alt models share the same frame, and that one is totaly differnt leave that junk and snatch the honda

[Dirtcrasher]

Whatever it is, it's complete junk and I wouldn't trade him a snow shovel for it, let alone a snow machine....

[350xBomb]

Boy, I'd like to see that! I also always wondered about a Yammie 350, Hell, they made the BW350, how come nobody's done a trike conversion on one of those?

cause theyre turds...not much get up and go for bein a 350.

[burnoutboy]

So much for being a 350.. Looks like junk to me.
