R-1 engine in a trike?

[gravelyman]

I have seen the R-1 blasters and R-1 rhinos on youtube. so has anyone ever put a R-1 engine in a trike frame? i think it can be done i just dont know what frame to use? 250r 85-86 model or 350x? i think it can be done and after i finish building my 350r that im working on now i think im going to start looking into building one. so let me know your thoughts and what challenges i might face. i know i will have to modify the frame seriously but that does not worry me. if i cant fab it. it cant be made. and if you donate 100.00 dollars or more to the project you can ride it when im done :lol: :lol: :lol:

the question is why? Are serious about drag racing? Its a waste of an engine IMO...

[gravelyman]

no not for drag racing. just to say i have one.

Ive got an R6 motor in my garage if you might be interested....

If you have the parts and ability, build it. Though I think you'd be better off using a Z frame. Seems like it would require less modding because of more engine space in the cradle. Also, then it would be all Yamaha.

Well Smurfancoke on here has a trike built from a honda 550 supersport, it really is a tool, but hard going for trails, mudplugging etc..... sounds f***in' awesome, and it rips in a straight line :p

There was a Yamaha 200 trike on trademe that had a Suzuki 1100cc engine in it a while back I posted it on here. It would be ridiculously fast considering it was a hard tail.
