Son picking up a trike today
I have a 2023 900cc Ryker Rally and I love it. I rode dirt bikes as a kid but hadn’t rode in over 20 years and I’ve been enjoying the stability and lack of shifting. Ton of fun

frankinaug,
The Rally version is quite popular around here. It has a few inches higher clearance and seating, skid plate, off road tires, etc. From what my son understands there are only 4 Ryker Sport models on the road here in the area. Folks seem to gravitate to the more upscale Spyder F3 and RT models for the road if not embracing the off-road Ryker Rally.


Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club!

A V8 powered trike was never under consideration by him.

Seen plenty of the dual rear trike jobs at Sturgis and them trying to navigate the great scenic roads in the Black Hills...pass. Smile

I live in South Texas, we have no winding roads. I see the Boss Hoss as purely a therapeutic need. When you are stressed, release it with massive horsepower transferred to unsuspecting pavement while accelerating as fast as possible.

I think what your son brought is much more practical, congrats to him.
