I have never owned a bike --recently have been entertaining the idea of getting a trike for the wife and i to cruise with--no major long distance stuff (i don't think) just plying around.
i have the chance to buy an 05 Blvd 50 trike with just over 3000 miles on it that is clean as new for 12500.
questions are is it big enough for a trike and two adults and is the price fair ?

Herb

Any input would sure be appreciated
 
Welcome to the forum! There are some good lads on here who can really give you all the input you need, and perhaps more than you asked for :D

My own .02 is that I think $12.5 is a bit pricey for an '05, but if you have the means, and you like the bike -- go for it
 
Welcome to the forum.

I don't know anything about trikes. I do know that trike conversions can be expensive though. You might want to look around and see what others are going for. Hopefully someone will be along that can tell you more.
 
Just bought it--anyone got a good way for me to tell my wife ?

Holy hell! Thats quite the rig man, congrats?! I'll be curious how it moves with all that extra weight? That being said, i can think of less comfortable ways to cruise ;) Enjoy! And welcome to the forum
 
Thats a 50. Holy cow, never thought anyone would convert a 50 to a trike. You might have some power issues with that one since it is only 800cc. Looks great but I would be interested to know how it does on the hwy.
 
The guy I bought it from riides a Harley--said his wife and sister -in- law rode this one along side him and some other Harley friends. Said they would cruise along all day long between 65 and 75 and the girls never had an issue staying along with them.

Looks like the stock exhaust has been modified somehow to sit side by side, interesting.

Have you told the wife yet? Let us know how she takes it.
 
C50 trikes are not uncommon, and I see a lot more of them that I do any other Suzuki model converted into trikes. Acceleration is sluggish, but it will maintain highway speeds all day without problems.

Nice looking rig- I like the color, and that it is a 'real' trike with a solid back end, trunk, and full fenders, not just a stock bike with an axle added to it.
 
Hummmm, did not know that since I have never seen one. Do you ever sleep Bob or just do research 24/7??? I can see it now, DrBob riding his Intruder with biker encyclopedias bungied to the bars, one open with a page holder and book light (for that nite time reading).:lol4:

Beautiful trike though. Looks cool.
 
Well she's not the type to get mad --she get's even. Not much more than a roll of the eyes and someting like " we're 60 years old--followed by silence.
Got home tonight and she showed me a paypal receipt for almost 600.00 for helmet--leather chaps--rain suit--gloves and glasses. Just for her !!
