Default ok don't hate me

But the original reason i purchased the ZX6R was that i needed the whole drivetrain and instrumentation to build one of these prototype reverse trikes.

plus i needed a bike to get my M class liscence. if i still build it it will be a cross between the peugot concept and this other concept.

the idea is the fun and economy of motorcycle travel in all weather conditions with the protection of a frame.

I wonder if you would be able to get the two front tires off the ground with a ZX-14 motor. I wonder would it would look like seeing that thing doing a wheelie down the street.

i'm thinking its more likely to doa burnout than a wheely since the CG is lower with the rider so low and forward.

I wonder how much power it would take to get the front wheels up. I mean if drag cars can get the front ends up I'm sure with enough power that thing can. maybe a super charged zx-14 motor it not it would be one heck of a smoke show.

with the drag cars a lot of the time its the weigth distribution. sometimes its just shear torque and massive sticky rubber.

sportbike motors don't put out that kind of torque..

but think of it this way.. how fast would a stock zx14 be if you could go full throttle without pulling a wheely?
