The only 2 wheel experience I have is from the motorcycle 2 day course that I took to get my endorsement. I put 3,290 miles on a Sunny reverse TILTING trike. It took some time and lots of practice to get used to the feel of the tilting reverse trike.
I just recently bought a Suzuki Burgman 650. I'm looking for opinions on if I maybe jumped the gun a bit and moved on to something too big before getting more 2 wheel experience. Looking for some feedback and opinions. Thank You

Naw...you'll be fine. That trike can be a handful and if you mastered it you'll be okay on the Burgy. Just remember, where as the trike would only lean so far and stop... the Burgy will go all the way to the ground  |

atta boy!! thats good! i tried riding a trike in the past, i didnt like it, it felt odd.. 3wheel, 3 is an odd number thats why. 2 wheel is fun, you can zip in a very tight space in between two cars or buses if youre in a hurry.
welcome to the 2wheel world!!

Just watch your speed(cause she's gonna be a helluva lot faster), ride defensively, and always without fail try to anticipate the dumbest possible moves by the cagers and you'll be fine. I started out on a Kawasaki 440 LTD cruiser bike(not much more engine than the RT) and then moved up to my Suzuki Intruder 750 with no problem. Hey, where are those pictures?  ENJOY!! |

A buddy just traded for an older Burgman scooter for his wife. After riding my '09 Daix Trike she wants him to covert it to a trike. Nicest conversion we have seen so far is a Dayton (?) trike kit

I got my Magnum 300 when I had balance problems and was not walking good. Really like riding trike.... But I can tell ya the real thing is 2 wheels on the ground and long trips. Moving up to a Silver Wing soon, but keeping the Reflex for local running

Sunny Roadrunner's are reverse trikes(two wheels in front) that TILT like a two wheeler in turns. They are NOT for people who "cannot balance". ;D Still think you wouldn't like a trike? Check out this link... www.mysterydesigns.com/ These guys make a kit called the Tiltster for a conventional trike that tilts! ;D Note: this message was modified with smileys and comments so as not to imply that I had been offended-lol!!  |

He likes to start stuff and rile people up. Alleyoop |

Yes, pm New2scootn, and tell him you why you were banned from Scooterprofessor by JR of all people. And your looking to get kicked off this forum if you do not settle down. Rich already pmed you and warned you just a few days ago. Some may not know you but I know you since 2009, so please behave and just enjoy the forum and be nice that is all we ask. I already have gotten pms from people to at least suspend you.
