three wheelers arent dangerous. its the inexperienced riders that make them dangerous. you can smack into a tree at 50 mph on a three wheeler , just the same as if you hit a tree going 50 on a dirt bike.
I grew up riding Honda ATC's at the farm and I would probably say the slow ATC's are the most dangerous. A fast atc has the luxury of sliding easily but a slow atc cannot take corners very well which is where new riders fail. I like the extra stability of a quad but like Rubbersalt said, nothing is faster than a "Good" ATC in tight sandy trails at the dunes.
i dunno...ive had Quadzillas, 2 Tecate 3's, a 82 Honda ATC250R, a Yamaha Tri-Z with a YZ490 engine (INSANE TRIKE)...a Honda ATC110 and various other 3 wheelers over 30 years. I only wrecked when i was being stupid on them. You just cant jump on anything (especially the insane 2 stroke bikes, trikes or quads) with no rider experience. 3 wheelers got banned because of stupid parents buying their 10 year olds something like a Tecate 3 for his first ride..when he should have had a 110 to learn on
@netrioter I was lucky to have a parent that started me on a Honda CT110 Trail and a ATC110 and then stepped me up to a ATC250R after a few years of riding....and ill tell ya this...a 82 had no extended back end and it still had ballon tires. It took me a year to even be brave enough to floor it...and 2 weeks after i got used to its power...i get busted for going 75 mph in a 40 at 12 years old. LOL. Its the rider..you give these to young kids and not teach them..then ANYTHING will hurt them
threewheelers arent dangerous if you know how to ride them my first bike was a lil honda 70 when i was 4 and by the time i was 11 i was on an 85 250r if an 11 year old can ride a 250r and not wreck then that just proves some people are too retarded to be on them
@MidwestMadness775 post it, because a well tuned tecate will keep up, if not smoke a banshee. This is of course a stock bike. A heavily modified Tecate is in several classes above a banshee.
@MidwestMadness775 also, instead of being a douche, and saying "Nope, my dads banshee will smoke a tecate" (which is being somewhat childish, because its like saying "My dad can beat up your dad"), how about posting some solid, hard video about it, hmm? This has to be on stock machines, not modified.
im not being a douche and i dont have the stock parts to put the banshee back to stock and another thing nobody around here has a tecate that i know of it was at silver lake where i raced one
to all who think threewheelers are dangerous ur all retarded pussys and they shoud bring them back only reason they dont make them now is because the dumbass parents would buy there waterhead kids the biggest baddest ones even though they couldnt ride for shit then say its that they are dangerous get over it and quit being bitchs...
@sanddemon4884 yup and to that ended the three wheelers because the cry baby parents started getting there kids quads. but u said it they should bring them back i miss riding them
Thats because people were hurtin themselves. Something that light with that much power is a deathtrap. Tecate's,Atc's, even tri z kick quads asses all the time. Just ask people who go to the dunes alot.
@Lalann actually the 3 wheelers were blamed as dangerous, but that is not the case. 5 years after the ban the number of atv accidents and fatalitys was still about the same. 3 wheelers were just popular so accidents on them were popular. it is just as easy to crash any other atv/bike. they also tried to do the same with crotch rockets in the late 90's failed on that one though.
@Lalann Dirt bikes are lighter than 3 wheelers and they are not "death traps". And If you learned to ride a 3 wheeler, you would know that it's all in how you slide the rear-end. people think they can turn it like a quad and they flip over. you have to lean off the seat and slide it. As for 3-wheelers being faster, they are lighter than quads....but the biggest factor is THE RIDER!
The Tecate was a brute! The only thing it really needed was 6-speed instead of 5. But still, it was 100 lbs lighter than the 'Shee but only 8 HP less.
wow the tecate did great considering that the banshee has 350cc/2 piston and the tecate is a 250cc/1 piston. not to mention the tecates engine is the same since 1983
whats the differance between riding 4 wheels or riding 3 wheels ! well the differance is like riding a mechanical bull or riding a live bull the 3 wheelers are the live bull
more people die every week in cars than EVER died on 3 wheelers. BAN CARS. government please protect us from ourselves!!!!!!
