Well it is a trike but . .

So this may not be one of the strangest motorcycles on the road. It is a bit different.
Not everybody's idea of a dream bike. Any comments? Like or not so much? I am assuming most will agree it is a motorcycle. Just different.

Those aren't real trikes, if you want a REAL trike and not something the nanny rides to the post office every morning Google "F3 Adrenaline - The Hard Edged Trike" and let the drool flow!

For those who hate Google - trirodmotorcycles.com is the maker though their site has few pics.

 

Well here is the Exile Motorcycles take on the trike. I am a bit of a fan of Exile bikes although they are a good chunk of change to say the least. The trike is pretty consistent with the Exile style.

I think I like the Exile more now that you mention it. One thing I didn't like about the F3 Adrenaline is the way the exhaust curls around the engine first going towards the front and then towards the back, it's just not efficient enough for my liking. is the Exile street legal? I don't see turn signals or a tail light. I'm not sure it can be street legal anyway if it's blowing fire out the pipes

 

That license aspect is a good point. Quite the beginner bike at $20,000 to $30,000 though. And you do see a fair number of these actually on the road, a lot more that the more traditional motorcycle trikes, such as Goldwing and Harley. A buddy of mine, a Harley owner, took one out on a test ride from a dealer. He actually said it was pretty good but he wasn't about to sell his Harley for it.

I think Exile makes street legal bikes but they are American. And I don't know how the requirements re street legal are state to state. Of course I know helmet laws vary so maybe do the light signal requirements.
As I said to my knowledge Exile aka Russell Mitchell, makes street legal bikes. I have to say of the big customs, aka Orange County, Jesse James etc I like the Mitchell Exile bikes best.
Look at the tires on that thing though.

When I was younger I was a purist and in my little mind anything that had more than two wheels was not a motorcycle and only belonged with Ma and Pa on the farm and that included trikes as well ~ still am not overly fond of them. But now, almost anything on wheels and an open body close to the ground can excite me.

 

Those are all really great designs. I love how the trirods look. They kind of have the batpod, Batman's motorcycle in Dark Knight, look to it.

 

Does that Exile bike even have any suspension on the back end or is it a hardtail?

One good pothole will either shatter your buttocks or, if you only run one tire into it, will turn it upside down, lol.

I guess that's part of the fun.
