The TriBurg 650 -- The Trinity Trike conversion of a Suzuki Burgman AN650

[dalesworld]

Why is everyone ragging on this? I saw a Goldwing trike conversion priced at $33,000 this weekend. In my mind that's a really nice car. Yet there are lots of Goldwing/Harley trikes out there for people who want to tour two-up but like/need the stability. Think of this as the poor mans Goldwing trike.

I see 1 "problem" with these. Namely, PRICE.

A brand new Suzuki Burgman AN650 is around $7 - 8,000.

The "Trike Kit" is around another $3 - $4,000

Total = $10,000 - $12,000

A brand new Can-Am Spyder starts at around $16,000. The price of a Burgman/Tri-Kit puts you 3/4 of the way towards a Spyder! If you're really into "trikes", which would you rather have? A "scooter"/kit or a purpose manufactured 3 wheel "motorcycle"?

BTW, the Spyder has a 900cc V-Twin motor vs the Burgman's 650.

@gjc82071 A case of apples & oranges my friend! One is a conversion the other is an OEM "turnkey." One is a step thru classic trike configuration capable of 100mph+ and the other is a two wheels in front, snowmobile-ish ride also capable of 100mph+. Most folks already have (and love their Burgmans) and now just want the 3rd wheel stability. And for those who don't own one, we encourage them to get a good used one to convert, not a new one. So the net pricing is more like 1/3 less.
