hey. Being a begginnner but not completely new to the world of riding would a 350x be hard to tame or will it just take osme time?

Physically how big are you? I would not advice someone new to trikes to get a 350X as a first machine. i would say start out on a 200X or a hardtail 185 or 200 - depending on how big you are and how old you are.

We need more info - also - what kind of terrain you plan to ride.

it is not so much "Taming the beast" as it is getting to know how the beast reacts in different situations.

LOL.. I've been riding for over 25 years and the 350x still bucks me off from time to time! :lol: :w00t: :TrikesOwn

Lol, chris200x after riding all summer a few years ago without a hitch. The last little put I went on (just in the back yard) I was doing some low speed wheelies and did the old "plop off the back" what an embarrassing way to end my season :)

I agree with act tim, get some hours on a smaller bike to start. but if you decide to go gun hoe and get a 350 just really take your time and put around. get to know how its going to react before you go cranking on it.
