hhmm, well maybe a honda civic with just exhaust (is pretty much your typical rice rocket, and most do sound like insects).. But some hondas are cool, like this S2000.

Man that 3-wheeler in your avatar is badass. Is that yours? I had a 350x 3-wheeler. You know the one with the white tank, it's a 4-stroke. That thing was so much fun and it had some serious torque. I would throw some paddle tires on it and take it out to the dunes and shred! But dude the 250's would always blow the doors off me off the start. The power bad on a 250 kicks in at like the middle of the second gear. The 350's powerband kicks in at towards the midddle of 3rd.

Where the 350 excels is climbing. We would find a steep sketchy spot on competition hill or a really steep bowl out in the desert and go alll out. The 250 would dwarf me on the start but if he started digging in the sand half way up the hill he was fucked. I would stroll right by...LOL ahhh memories.

But you know what beats them all, don't you? The big bad death machine. CR500 in the three wheeler version. Holy shit! I rode one and it scared the shit out of me!! LOL

the one in the pic isn't mine but looks the same.I detailed mine today for like 2 hours,lol.I had a few 350x's through the years.I run a cr500 most of the time.
My 250r is brand new.almost every part is.Its got a 30 over Wiseco,its fully ported,head shaved and a 10 thous. copper head gasket(instead of 60 thou stock)the 3rd gear and 5th gear have taller ratios then stock.Its bad.I'd bet it'll do at least 85 if not 90 mphs plus.
BTW the cr is a custom build too.Its siick....

There is no way I would feel safe going that fast on a 500. Maybe with an extended swing arm but dude there are two tires grabbing the ground and it's hard to keep the front end down! At least thats what I learned the hard way. That shit is scary as hell. I could just never get comfortable with that much power. On a quad or two wheeler, no problem. I give you props for riding that beast.

Thanks dude,the 3 wheeler 250r is the fast one.It does lift when you get going.The cr500 is geared kinda low.It does about 60.But it will climb a tree
I haven't put the 500 in the trike yet but I will.The trike is already way sick but with the torque monster 500 it will be a whole other animal

People don't make their civics loud to be cool, they do it to piss off entire city blocks of people that are sleeping. Meh, over privileged douche nozzles gotta flaunt that trust-fund somehow.

I read in some psychology forum that people make their cars loud to "announce" they are coming.

to me, if you live in a thickly settled neighborhood and purposely make your car loud, whether it's the car itself or the boom boom system, you are a douchecunt attention whore. nobody cares about your stupid car or your shitty music when they're trying to watch a movie with the windows open on a nice night.

now if your muffler falls off and you can't fix it right now, that's another story. i drove for 4 months with no muffler because i was broke and i chirped alarms every other block. it also sucked for me, though. i have a coat hanger antenna and i had to turn the (factory) radio up so high that i blew a speaker, and between that and the static of shitty reception and the loud ass muffler it was a real shitty drive to work. driving is stressful enough without your ears bleeding.

The plumbing for the turbo is sweet. Those cars go so fast. People are building these motors in the garage just like in the oldschool hotrod days.
