yeah ... i personally would never consider a regular Trike
however, a Reverse Trike seems to have very different driving dynamics
what attracts me to building a R-T is its simplicity, shortness and light weight
obviously there is no need for a differential as well as a limited slip devise (that alone removes a lot of weight & headache)
it can also be a very cheap and straight forward project if your smart about re-using as much as possible from the donor bike.
i like the fact that it simplifies wiring, cause its built into the bike engine, only 3 wires are used for the gauge cluster.. so thats nice only have to extend 3 wires, and the benefit of a sequential transmission..
Also motocycle engines are reasonable to find with low miles.. yes a car engine will last longer if you drove it for years and years.. but who builds a locost or reverse trike and puts 25k miles on it every year... if that is the case.. just replace the motor every few years.. as newer technology fades cheaper by the year..
