I’ve seen 1 before.

I really want an old school flat twin, either the solo motorcycle Ural sold for like 1 year or a Chang Jiang, or an older BMW.

The solo bike is the Wolf. That’s the one my buddy has and it eats driveshafts at what he considers an alarming rate. Also, they’re model unique, impossible to get, and he’s less mechanically inclined than Jeremy Clarkson.

yeah check out youtube, i also thought they were possibly perfect cause my wife is disabled and the third wheel is driven. but after watching a guy do a road test i changed my mind. first off he says highway travel for long trips not good, only has 4 speeds and can’t change gearing cause shaft drive, since only 40 hp couldn’t pull it anyway. very labor intensive maintenance to keep it together, list goes on...

That is disappointing. Hopefully he gets something that works. The shop should be able to get a standard drive shaft and diff to work for it. I am surprised it is a model specific part.
