Three wheeled motorcycle The X-15

[Angelsum143]

Hey need ur help

Pls help how did u design

Ur clutch and changing gear ?

Pls send some idea ...

Thanks

[johnnnyreb51]

Almost there. With a buggy frame. You can run braces from the upper rollbar back to help support the bike frame. By bolting it to the seat postion. The neck you already know how to deal with that. And the lower frame work only need to connect the front frame to the back frame. The upper supports from the rollbar well handle the weight.

[buhjones]

Its a reliant!

[nickvkn]

4 seater:

2 people in the front

2 people on the motorcycle

[CosmoxYRik]

This manages to be stupid, pointless, and totally awesome all at the same time. It reminds me of those connector cars that were briefly cool in the late 80's, where you could join up bits of different vehicles to make stupid combinations. I have zero metal fabrication skills, so I'm impressed, even though I have no idea why you built this.

[zeptomole]

The best thing about this video is the pretty cat in the driveway thinking, "WTF"?

[spliffsperlunk]

This is probably the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

[houdini19831]

It's a ghetto t-rex. Look it up.

Looks fun though.

[azdrifter520]

you shoulda kept the back seat

[etownguy19]

uhhh..... Retard, a Motorcycle has two wheels. It has handle bars, with a throttle... Not a steering wheel with pedals, and it doesn't have racing seats.... idk what this piece of crap is but it's Not a Motorcycle or Trike.... it's a go cart with half of a Motorcycle welded on the back.

[HecticAussie]

for the days when you just can't decide what mode of transport is best eh :)

[01928374655]

Why not just drive the bike?

Wouldn't this not be cheaper, easier and more fun?

[frankoneilljr]

if you put the seat back on the bike it would be a three seater.

[112cla]

i laughed at that cats dialog hhaahahahahah ''what now''

[madrugaumreal]

isso é qe é um engenheiro formado nas coxas... vai toma no cú... o maluco ainda tem orgulho de coloca no you tube... da próxima vez engata um avião atrás do seu calhambeqe pa ve no qe da...

[danielthibault]

fiberglass body make

[walleyefishface32]

I think he should find some fiberglass and make himself some fairings or finish it off....has potential

[candr]

Use to be a kit back in the 60's that you could buy, where you built the front end and pluged a bike of your choice in the back. Something similar to this, pretty nice work by the way.

[TheWonderfulBean]

looks like bill gates and his brother got a hold of a bike...

[marcslinky]

Chaz - yes, the salvage donor bike was $2300 of the $7500. Thanks for looking

[chaz76vette]

that looks like something the Resistance would make to fight the Machines

[shoobedoorocketship]

that thing is kinda ugly, but in a cool way. lol

at least you two were smart enough to wear helmets

[troyluciano12]

what is this your own version of t-rex? nice one

[pixiesmate]

is it supposed to look like a bike driven into the back of a go cart

[kanjikevin]

well its innovative. . .

[nate600f3]

that isnt a busa...have you ever seen a busa with a rear end like that ???

[jerk151810]

dat shit is crazyyyyyyyyyyy

[chubbsuperfly]

any other details, or more close-up videos of construction and design?...izzat a "Busa rear section?...any possibility of your diy video soon? nice.

[marcslinky]

Check it out, I added a bunch of still photos in separate video. Later

[slkfahrer]

redneck t-rex! fucking cool

[TOKYOJOE]

lool nice one

[ftutbs]

PO MANS T-REX " )

[Porsche010]

awsome!

[Thomikasu]

interesting, really smart (;

[007up]

you made that one man?!

[marcslinky]

Thank you very much!

[LLschoolJ2]

probly dose not have enuff power to go that fast but damn nice work

[LITTILDUFFLEBAGBOY]

u should put some motorcycle rims a paint job and some cool racing seats do u c where im goin with this its nice tho

[marzuki]

wow nice....i hope singapore have that kind of motorcycle...btw cute cat there

[CoonBabble]

haha, i though to myself, that sounds like my bandit, looked at the bike.... THAT IS A BANDIT!

[Alvin202000]

nice...but it would be better to see this thing go full speed....

[1065158]

wow how much did it cost you to make the way it is??

[marcslinky]

About $7500. Thanks for looking.

[chaz76vette]

@marcslinky does that include the donor bike?

[akademiks604bc]

its a hybrid

half redneck / half ricer

really unstable at high speed i bet!

[marcslinky]

Actually, it is very stable, due in part to the 13' wheelbase. Thanks for viewing.

[3593893]

HA HA !! Yes you are right. But only if you can get someone to sit back there !! Good Call !!

[Seregium]

Nice!

[3593893]

You did a good job on that one. I am wanting to do a 4 seater and a larger tank for the range.

[tpttooter946]

technically thats a 3 seater!

[RuN3Sc4P3V1D3OS]

lol that cant be street legal lol

[jabduli]

thats awesom ..  i like it alot good job on doin that

[EvilShark]

awesome ride man. how much did i cost ya to build that?

[marcslinky]

Thanks very much. The salvage bike was $2500 + another $5K. It adds up quickly.

[boardermasta17]

cool

[ajohnson]

how did you mount the bike frame to your fabricated frame? To the triple clamp and rear swing arm bolt or what?

[marcslinky]

NOTE, response made person to person

[panamic855]

thats sick man.. now i wanna see a harley

[cekone123]

umm concept is very cool but not very friendly to the eye for what it is lots of work good shit but try making it look coooler:P

[marcslinky]

Wait 'til you see model two, which is currently under construction. It features a purpose built frame (no use of the bike frame or swing arm), powered by a Yamaha FZ1 engine (150 HP) and there's a 9" rear tire. Peace

[BTPossum]

Good stuff.

[Sulkyrider]

Nice:)

[lilmudman]

kool its look like a mix between a sand rail and a bike nice

[marcslinky]

Thanks friend.

[sebze835]

Very cool concept...

[marcslinky]

Thanks very much.

[maXrUm]

Are you a mechanical engineer? Mechanical engineering is what I am currently majoring in, and I'd love to build some things of my own in the future.

[marcslinky]

No, I am not an ME by trade, though I've digested a stack of engineering books. It was my aspiration as a teen to go to GMI and become an automotive engineer. Circumstances did not permit it however. I wish you the best. As you know, the math is a killer!

[maXrUm]

Regardless, awesome work. And thank you very much. Hopefully the math doesn't kill me lol

[sammynyhuis123414]

thats awsome

[marcslinky]

Thank you very much.

[TheSwordandScales]

That was a 919, correct? Well done, sir, that is impressive engineering.

[marcslinky]

Yes, 919. Thanks very much for the encouraging words. It sounds much better now that I've completed the exhaust "Bafflectomy". I really need to do another video. take care.

[babyshaker207]

Thanks for that. Bafflectomy is as clever as your 919 trike!

[netlurker55]

I can only ask...Why?

Seems like a waste of a perfectly good bike(I know...salvage).

But if you want a 2-seater sit down ride ...get a convertible. Or a trike with a bench seat. All that ugly metal work (maybe you have covered) detracts for me.

Good job on the assembly I must say.

Credit where its due.

[tcuk]

Nice piece of engineering there.

[peepeevagi]

It's the original Ariel Atom :P

[hgallegos915]

WOW

[bethanne2187]

What state did you get it titled???

[marcslinky]

California. It is considered a specialy constructed vehicle instead of a Honda (as it used parts from previously assembled vehicles) and it is considered a motorcycle. The only thing required of me was an inspection of the engine ID number by the CA Higway Patrol and a brake and light inspection. I provided the CHP with a complete list of all assembly costs and receipts and then DMV did the rest. You may view the CA DMV website for more details. Thanks for viewing my site.

[adonysforlife]

Me and my friend are doing something like that execpt we are going to try and get more of the bike front mixed end with cars back end but, you gave alot of ideas

[flyguy75140]

I tried that already. I have now opted for the front wheel drive car parts up front and back. As they are cheaper and the car front end is all together. Check out my first prototype test run video.

[jkatz44]

how much did u put into it

[marcslinky]

The bike was $2500 (salvage title), plus another $5,000.

[hxr400]

Wow! Thats crazy!!

Very impressive! ;)
