A 750 trike! ....................... I don't think so! IMHO the bike/engine is way too small!
Not really. same size bikes run sidecar and do it well . Sidecar puts more drag on. I have a 1996 EVO Harley with a side car the does well. When you consider it is a 1340 but weights 780 lbs ( without sidecar) compared to a XG at 470 lbs and 750cc.
You do have to think of things in a different way. To avoid lugging you drop a gear . With the Street that is not a problem . It has a wide operating range in the gears. Dropping to 5th even at highway speeds would not be an issue.
883 Sporty have been trided for years
Even with my old 1996 it is a 5 speed I drop to forth in hard pulls still run 70Plus MPH with no problem.
I have also considered putting a light frame Vilorex on the XG750. Same as this one in style, however this one is a heavy frame. Only reason I went heavy on it was wanted the taller tire.
