Badwebber Nickcaro has one and loves it, he doesn't touch his 1125R anymore since getting it. He bought the 1125R just over a year ago and put 15k on it in a few months, then bought the Can Am in the late spring and has since put over 30k on it. He said it does OK in the snow, I want a Ural just so we can trike it up everywhere
barker, they say it's like a quadrunner(never been on one and it's been quite a while since i was on a snowmobile of which they say it handles like too.) but the thing has the rotax motor in it and with the traction control/abs in it, it's actually pretty cool to ride and the wife like the automatic but if we ever get to that point of getting one, i'll have to impress upon her that we get the manual. if you get the chance to try it, do it.
Did the same demo, but @ the Myrtle Rally. I was as impressed as you it sounds. PLENT-o-Power!! The only thing that really stuck out as a negative was crossing bumps in the roads that were not horizontal to the path of travel. If one wheel caught it 1st it pulled the bike that way then back the other. BUT I'M SURE that after a while you'd get used to it!!!
I rode them up at Americade one year and didn't like it, I guess you have to get used to it. No leaning and I think the suspension on it makes all of the tires stay on the ground, your brakes are linked. We gotta ask Bubba Blackwell if he can wheelie and stoppie on it k
There is a trick to getting a wheel up too. Engaging the clutch ever so slightly switches off the stability system while it thinks it's about to change gear. :-)
yea "U", i enjoyed it quite a bit and although being in a group put a damper on testing it i tried my best every chance i had. i could see my self getting on of these opposed to the electraglide trike that we used to have for the wife.
and why aren't i suprised that DD tried to do a wheelie on one of these. and nice video.
