Only 22k on the clock, Roadsmith kit, a few extras. Comments....pro/con! Would take some serious convincing with the left side of the bed.  Wink  If they would split the price on a trade with my Valk.....

Nice looking trike, I think the Roadsmith is one of the best. I believe it has independent suspension   cooldude

It may need a good inspection; I noticed the right exhaust tip is longer than the left and cocked off to the side a bit. You never know!

Looks really nice and well taken care off, I would suggest going to look at it as pics can be deceiving sometimes.
IF for some reason it is not what you are looking for then it will make things easy as you will feel better walking away from it.
On the down side, if you really like it and they work with you with your trade in then you are in deep do do cause you have to somehow  break it to the better half  Grin

A friend of mine just purchased a Harley Trike. He had tried a few and once he got on this last one.... one he bought it. Main reason? Independant suspension. According to him there is a night and day difference.

Well, it looks great (from my house) and if you could get half off with your bike, a very sweet deal. Better yet, only 23K mi.

But, if I was never likely to have a back seater again, and unlikely to do any major traveling vs mostly day riding with only the occasional trip, I think I might want a bit smaller trike.  I mean, that thing is probably very nice to ride, but it's kind of an aircraft carrier. (Though unlike a Valk trike, that should have reverse on the starter gear, which can be an important consideration)



Notice, these don't bank that great either.
