My neighbor GAVE me his yamaha r1 today and it runs but was hit by a car and the forks are toast.I want to put the yamaha mill in a trike frame what should i use?I am kinda leaning towards a 200x frame but wanted to get yalls opinion first.

That will require alot of room. I would go with a 350X given that the motor in the 350 is taller. Weight wont be an issue with a power plant like that and you will have to gusset the hell out of any frame you use.

Yeah gussets are good.I am going for kind of a "suicide machine" theme.

Since it's a Yamaha I would go for the Tri-z.....

I went to look at the supposed r1 and found a frame and a motor that looked like it hadn't ran in 15 years oh and it was only two cylinders.I am thinking it is a 600 or 650 from the eighties.I may get it because duh its free but it is junk right now but it would still be cool to put on a trike
