Impressive design and assembly procedure. The big board layout for the wiring harness was smart.

[@PiefacePete46]

Congratulations on a top-notch video. From what I could see, this is a progressive and positive community. You really only need to drive through a location with your eyes open to feel the vibe. Your product and manufacturing facility also conveys this message... great! Thanks for the coverage.

Big ups pimp

[@gadcarmelit3628]

It's a nice three wheeler but too pricey 55,000 no draw you out a frame get you a good welder and a motor and Build your own less than 20,000 !

[@eatshit2863]

You can buy 2 five year old Mercedes SL500's for the cost of this stupid thing.

[@RGIIIBOXING]

You can build one for Around $6 to $7grand if you have a Good Donor Bike"..all you need is a welder and a pipe Bender" And can take things from other parts yards and modify and reengeiner Them for This application"🏆

[@plootow1622]

I am thinking to build this bad boy. As someone has said, you need a welder, tubing bender, and Yamaha or Suzuki motor cycle, and time.

[@G.D.J-q1h]

A B-U-TFULL BIKE. IF SOMEONE WAS TO BUY THE H2R POWER PLANT WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO PUT A BIKE TOGETHER?

I'm Andre I love this send to South Africa to

This is a t-Rex happy we’re making them in America feel like the cockpit should’ve been a little wider though❤

[@chetsands1609]

I am wondering what type of alternator and ecu upgrade they went with. I am building one and using a Suzuki SV1000 motor.

[@AlfonsoHernandez-ok5sb]

Totally effortless

[@roldangup-ay4569]

How i wish to have one of this spectacular ride.....

[@blhornertube]

This is wonderful I wish I lived in Virginia I would apply seeing how a injury prevents me from driving a 2 wheel bike. The things you could do to that machine reflashing the ecu adding led lighting stretching the rear swing arm that brocks system with the alienhead oh boy. Hahaha

[@Ritalie]

Suzuki, get your act together! This is 2020, the year of *The Great Awakening.* You need to sell these guys engines. Having your engine is major advertising for your company! You should jump at the opportunity to help these guys. You could start selling your engines as "crate engines" all over the world, just like Chevrolet and Ford, and Dodge. There is absolutely no reason not to do it, except for politics. I hope you reconsider your marketing strategies, and find a way to sell engines directly. You might create a whole new market that isn't even there, if you allowed people to buy your engines!

[@jimbrown7741]

What is the average cost of this Reverse trike?

[@JusBrooklyn6]

Why does this look exactly like the Campagna T-Rec?🤔

[@SeclipseR]

18:29 hahhaha, if you know what Campanga T-rex is, then you will find this part hilarious.

[@wacobrian9085]

is this guy chinese ?

[@zico3239]

why a roll bar is not fitted to most reverse trikes??

[@TheJanders23]

RSK

[@rosendoborja284]

How much per/ one piece or one unit?

[@Craftedtree]

How come they don't mention the Trex when they mention the Can-am and Polaris?

[@Ritalie]

Please keep the design the way it is. It's a masterpiece! Don't change it for the sake of change, like so many companies have done. Take a page out of the Dodge book, and keep the body the same! Chevy and Ford have failed to maintain their Camaro and Mustang image, because they haven't been able to decide on a particular look, and so they change them continuously. Dodge has remained steadfast in making the most beautiful muscle car ever produced, the modern Challenger. And it has only been slightly changed in 14 years. This is the most important reason why the Challenger is so successful. Keep your body lines, and your headlight assembly, and don't change anything except the colors, or the badges. This thing is a beautiful masterpiece! It's absolutely perfect! It is *orders of magnitude* more beautiful than the Spyder, and the Spyder has a God awful V-Twin engine. When I saw that you used a Hayabusa engine, an inline-4, I knew you guys had it right. A V-twin engine is not an acceptable choice for creating a smooth driving experience.

[@nicholasking3568]

I watch now simple this video is and it makes me want 1 down here in Trinidad

[@dupreecalfee9030]

I’m in Centreville and want to come check this out! How much do they cost?

[@najeeshabazz4762]

They might want to look at why the company that makes the T-Rex financially tanked. If you have to purchase a bike worth $14,000 (Hyabusa) to make another vehicle then of course the price $55,000 would be high which this is exactly what T-Rex did ( BMW K1600). Thats why the Slingshot is more affordable though they do use a GM engine they don't have to purchase the entire vehicle.

[@chrisjones1798]

Shut up and take my money , they look so amazing

[@jeremyprince4945]

Is this company still around?

[@seanwayment9361]

So...what is ultimately the difference between this and the T-Rex?

[@troyguererro0898]

I want to ask if it's possible to put an electric motor there. If yes, how much power should the electric motor possess in order to make the trike run. Just a top speed of 60km/h and an acceleration of 0-60km/h in 5s

[@tomhead7694]

Can it be fully enclosed?

[@jessemacias5910]

How /where can I get one of those trex ????

[@eddantonio927]

Is u'r (car) / trike DAV FRIENDLY?

[@steventempler9319]

Do you sell the Tanom to Australia and if so do you have a out in Australia so I may look at buying one.

[@ivanivan377]

Привет ,а вы всё ещё делаете эти трайки? И сколько он стоит?

[@jerrelsmith9564]

R these legal to drive on highways

[@dpow86]

This looks amazing. Great build video. But I can't piece together how the price of one of these is $55k+. I would expect high 20's, low 30's. But this thing costs as much as a full sized truck, partially loaded!

[@saneahhchu1230]

Dick Powell good

[@dpow86]

They part out everything but the engine (watch the video), so all you're paying for is the cost of the engine (not the whole bike). How much do you think that costs?

[@blkicemike4857]

I figured $5-7k for motor & trans, $5k frame,$2k tires and rims, $1,000 paint,$1,800 seats. At most $25k. But $55k.?? I don't think that i'll own one for that price.. Ten years ago I bought a Suzuki GSX1000r. for $10k it was brand new. I haven't looked at bike prices in a while, but surely not increased that much have they?? That Tanom is nice & all but pricey.. daaaum... oh and good video 😎👍🏼..

[@fpvrcstuff]

T Rex knock off !

[@Gargamoth]

I like that is has a real windshield. I would like it with doors, frunk space, change the roof line.. Its good, but could be better.

[@ShivaSharma-zs6gt]

Like the Trex Aero 3s?

[@Gargamoth]

@@ShivaSharma-zs6gt the Aero kit for the T Rex is an option, but it's just a fiber glass shell. The base T Rex is just a roll cage and crap seats. Not to Mention there is a price difference and not worth the jump.

[@Gargamoth]

@@ShivaSharma-zs6gt You can definitely build one sure.

[@SeclipseR]

Come up with your own design, straight copy of Campagna T-Rex! Did they get sued by Campagna, does anyone know?

[@handyhenry8654]

So... Where's it made?

[@weatheranddarkness]

This is quite the copy of a Campagna T-rex, but less pretty.

[@TestAutomobila]

Why you not contact Suzuki in Japan, its madness to buy new motor just for engin???

[@DeiHarper9361]

Beautiful just lile the Trex, but you should consider a price cut. I know you need a profit , but it would be way more profitable if people could actually afford the for what they are. You have at least 4 brands in america to go up against as reverse trikes and neither of them are near 50k.

[@keylostax]

That's why there out of business lmao!!!!

[@cletiesclark9013]

I do agree that 50 thousand is too much. The cost will have to come down to make it affordable.

[@greghoover6102]

Is it I-66 HOV compliant?

[@darringoodbrand6603]

Think the T- rex was the first one I seen driving about can't understand how they can justify the price of these reverse trikes Janie 20 k but 50k+ is crazy the sling shot go's for something like 24k they are well over priced there's a R6 scorpion 1seat reverse trike looks like a f1 car from the front it looks a beast of a machine

[@yonihales9133]

Have you considered or offer an alternative option to the "Quagmire" nose?...for 55K exceptional looking should be standard.

[@Jose.Q_]

That look cool to have but I thought it was gonna be cheaper than the t-rex but it's almost within the same price range as it , if it was in the price range as a slingshot I would def buy one and I know a few friends of mine would buy it too

[@tdon7477]

Are they still in business?

[@noahkatz9616]

NHTSA? I thought that was only for 4-wheelers.

[@ghostrider7831]

How much?

[@fredblair4307]

didn't watch the video cant wait that long to get through the advertisement

[@cletiesclark9013]

It is so expensive because they are passing on the cost of the red tape and fees,taxes, and overhead. If you make one in your garage it won't cost you a third of what it cost to manufacture for sale a vehicle.

[@meganshiplett8272]

“We developed a product” you copied a product to a tee

[@najeeshabazz4762]

He said its cutting edge. Do they not have the internet in VA. This may have been cutting edge in 1995 when T-Rex came out.

[@rcac1023]

At that price point it will not sell well especially where they are many others selling for much less.

[@silentdeath9237]

I wish they had doors and heating and cooling system included.

[@thomasleemullins4372]

or at least have the option for those, probably make it cost even more but be worth it to drive it in all kinds of weather.

[@hymlog]

...JUST GET THE SOLO FOR THOSE COMFORTS...

why the rich got to have all the fun why can't you make something that the average working man can afford and have some fun it's not about greed always is it !

where was this made ?oh yeah virgnia

[@tervalrandal6015]

Still in business???

[@rabiyaankhan4702]

I am from Pakistan and want to make it at my workshop I am quite researching on it but I can't find much details so can any one help me

[@1FishinAddict]

Yea, let me send you a full schematics and part numbers along with prices and where to get them. Hold on.

[@Gargamoth]

I want something with doors so I can travel through the rain without splashing myself or soaking my clothes depending on where I go.

[@pjm1819]

I hope in the future, there also a "Made in the Philippines😂. I only need some money to start though. I have a lot of talents but, money always talks😢. I work a lot but they pay me as a regular worker or as low as the lowest. I don't know if I was cursed by my talent. But soon, I will stand that those people using me will be my slave😂 but, I'm not that kinda person.

[@leonroach6054]

My question who did the R&D? The reason I ask is that your vehicle looks exactly like the first generation T-Rex.

[@darringoodbrand6603]

They're real nice reverse trikes but well overpriced . the slingshot starts at 20k if these started at 20k I would definitely have one don't think I would have my driving licence for very long 19:02 the size of the rear wheel lol

[@thefriendlygrizzley6728]

Nice triké.

[@yyyy9415]

amazing

[@stevehicks5780]

Probably interesting, but I got bored with all the adverts and skipped .

[@cassieschade7398]

They think that because they put so many man hours to make these things that they can sell them for so much.... 😕I don't remember it working like that

[@RESET1776]

WOW, The ball's on these guy's! They can't even bring up the name T-Rex & talk as if they had an original design.... Whats their side gig, building Harvey Donaldson motorcycles?

[@cassieschade7398]

RESET1776 they look like the T-Rex shorter fatter uglier sister

[@jaemanson6662]

Man I was just saying the same shit!! The mentioned all these companies that did it AFTER the T-Rex.

[@mongo5054]

I noticed that, plus, they haven’t mentioned a price.

Would be great if you would produce a scaled down commuter version for mass market.

T-Rex is gone, Is Tanom gone also?

[@benjaminlalonde6062]

Read news... t-rex are not gone you can buy a 2020 t-rex 16sp with bmw engine if you want

[@stevekulacz2048]

I can't believe they have to buy a brand new Suzuki just for the motor they need to find a motor supplier or engineer and make your own for that reason alone I will not buy one

[@edplow5917]

you cant tell me that they cant just buy the motor and save 10K they cant possibly sell all those new parts on E+BAY. most crash victoms die .

[@Ritalie]

This is a huge black mark for Suzuki. I love Suzuki, but they need to sell the engines directly. Period. When political agreements stop people from doing the right thing, then it's time to rip up the contracts, and change the politics. They could make so much money on the advertising by selling "Hayabusa Crate Engines." The CEO of Suzuki needs to reconsider his business strategies. In America, Chevy, Ford and Dodge, all sell engines direct to the public, and this allows a huge hot rod market to flourish.

[@jag2039]

$55.000 that’s Crazy! Yes I dig it but u can buy a really nice Fast Car for that n that’s life doe

[@benjaminlalonde6062]

Rent a t-rex... drive it ... test it you'll never feel something crazy like this... all that power at 4 inchs from the grown.. yeah it cost too much but seem like some fun are expensive

[@randylafleur2201]

This looks good, but way tooo expensive. I would buy a basic for $18k tops and the best top of line for $24k. Price them like that I and many more would buy one. At your price, I could buy two brand new toyota camry's XLE with extended warranty for that!!

55+ grand smh come on guys I know you want to make a good living but this price point is ridiculous your set up is absolutely awesome 25k to much..

[@arabzmostwanted]

Just like a campagna trex from front to back & sides the way the frame is the way steering, harnesses, front & rear suspension common. I own a trex and I modified it twise everything under the body is just like a trex. That’s sad. These guys should of came with there own look & ideas. This is like a replica T. rex. Or the American version of a trex. Sad :/

[@mikecatranace2941]
