RollinRhino Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 The only thing I'm calling bullshit on is the price he has~~$1.00 seems pretty cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokisbuddy Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I have had many tecates and I would say with that kx500 motor in that one......It's more than likely a banshee killer no BS about that. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee_terror_ Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 fa real. now that shit is a fast mother f-er. some 250r's would beat shee's. thats a 500 worked. I'm pritty sure it would kill some banshees with ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberneck Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 After looking at the pics, and the description. If everything is done that is stated in the ad, Im thinking he might make my 421 cub look a little silly. 3 wheelers are about 150lbs lighter than a a shee and that think sounds like it has quite a motor in it. Im calling bullshit on your calling bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeDan Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Really me and T-shee just picked up at 87 tecate 4. It looks pretty light but kinnda figured it for a turd. Your buddies mostly stock? all stock.... it scares me!!!.....lol Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorboystoys Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 i think the only place it would beat a shee is in a drag. i wouldnt turn sharp on that fucker. my friend lost all his front teeth cause he thought his 3-wheeler could turn sharp. a tree stump told him no. lol ^^^^^ now thats funny :biggrin: my bets are on the tecate if it can keep the front wheel on the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BellicoseBanshee Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I would say that most of the people who arbitrarily state that all trikes 'are slow' have never ridden one, and have never been around someone who can actually ride one. Tell Jimmy White T3s are slow... It's probably alot faster than you think!I agree. :thumbsup: i think the only place it would beat a shee is in a drag. i wouldnt turn sharp on that fucker. my friend lost all his front teeth cause he thought his 3-wheeler could turn sharp. a tree stump told him no. lolWith a skilled trike rider, that thing would stomp many bikes all day long. I have been ripping trikes for 17 years. Some have the skills, some do not... Half of the q wouldn't last one run with that...you need a hell of a lot more than just 20 over pistons and pods to beat that... :thumbsup:Again, I agree. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzly700 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 i dont have the skills. apparently my friend didnt either. lol he sold his after that incident. now he has a 300ex i have only ridden his, it was like a 250r but that thing was a skyward machine. i was always watching clouds on it. then i would turn slower than i could walk. i like my teeth :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamebo Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I bet that thing will haul ass! I'm confused about the price, though. He's selling it for 1,000? Not a bad price at all, if that's what he means by $1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traxman Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) Rubberneck if your 421cub runs half way decent then you would own this 3wheeler. I had Ftz pilot cylinder (390cc) honda 250r motor with all their goodies, and although it was high compression and very reliable it wasn't very fast. I know that Ftz is a flat track company so they look for a long torquey power band. When I finally pulled my cylinder it was hogged but the port timing was only a couple degrees over stock. My bike weighed less than the banshees and was fast as hell out of the hole but a well built 350 banshee could reel me in by the top of the hill. And when I faced off with another motor by a reputable engine builder it was embarrasing how fast they could run away. My current 510cc honda 250r would easily half hill my ftz motor. Hell my dads 385 play port 4mill banshee on pump gas with both bike in a second rolling start would absolutely run away from my bro-in-law's built cr 500 motorcycle, and he could beat most KX500's all day long. (not sure on how built they were?) Edited February 23, 2009 by traxman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ieat4strokes Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 man that tecate is sick! i bet it would be a blast to ride........if hes got it setup right it probally would kill most shees..... i hate saying that lol..... seriously though i had a 250r trike back in the day, ported n polished and reeds.... damn thing would destroy most shit around here.... if u can ride a 3 wheeler decently u can easily out manuver a quad when the shit gets technical....

dajogejr Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 With the right rider, I'm sure it would hand most guys their ass pretty good. It's only on a 6 over arm, plus all that weight missing up front...I bet it's a wheelie machine. Is it gonna beat some cub drag bike setup right? No... but it does have a McCuny carb, and those are very hard to come by....legendary in fact..so you never know... :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
