Well, definitely not as sexy as your T-Rex but half the price and 2400cc engine...maybe it's not totally ugly :icon_rolleyes:

Ken, I hear ya. We all have our preferences, I guess I am spoiled from owning one of the most exciting TRIKES on the market.

It's been around since 1994 and MANY have tried to copy it, none have succeeded as of yet. The T-Rex design is 20 years old and still looks HOT :icon_mrgreen:

Love it, the wind and the rain hit you in the face with the top up or down ."coffee"

Aw, you beat me to it. This is in a class all to itself. Though will probably handle those wind gusts better (see other threads).

:icon_laugh:

I KNEW I could lure you in outta the shadows with that comparo!!!

:crackup:

I don't know a thing about the T-rex's,,, See a few every year down at the Lone Star rally. Saw one on the loop once, apparently broke down.

Not sure how to put this, but, the ones I've seen are pretty much all owned /operated by folks with 'a nationality unlike my own.' :shrug:

Not sure why, as we have every creed and color on bikes, but not on 'rexs. :shrug:

As far as the slingshot...

Looks like ~fun~, but I won't be getting one.

I'm thinkin a small-block chevy might be a better powerplant,,, :icon_twisted:

I'm with you Phantom no where close to a T-Rex
it may have more cc but not enough HP.

Looked at more pics,,, Tail end looks kinda barren,,, I assume that open-ness is for 'saddlebags' on next years touring model.

Got to admit, I'm not much of a trike person. Conventional, reverse,,, doesn't matter. :shrug:
