Look's good bet the front end take's some gettin use too

[Rebel]

Nice, tell us how she handles.

[chefbobby]

But the real question is can you pull a wheelie.....lol. Naaaa, nice looking ride, I thought about getting one myself, but couldn't afford it

[daddue11]

hello again friends. About the front end,HELL YES it's SCARY at first,you have to throw out almost everything you know about riding conventional bikes. you can not steer it like a normal bike or trike,you have to just lean the bike to turn,even starting out from a stop sign and turning into traffic. You can only turn the handle bars at a crawl to just menuver it just a tiny bit,I'm constantly thinking that I'm gonna tip over the bike because it leans over so far. But it is still planted to the ground by the front tires. It's really freaky not putting your foot down at all for turns or stopping at a light.
The bike that I have is a power house,in the break in period i'm not supposed to get it over 30 mph but it's realy hard to keep it down to that speed,this thing wants to run.
It handles bumps and potholes like they aren't even there.I ran over a 6inch curb to get into my front yard at about 5mph and it didn't even make me move in the seat.
The anti lock disc breaks in both front and back stop on a dime and don't lock up in the rear like most bikes.I've only road it now 4 times and hear is my out put on this strange beast so far.
At 30mph it rides Cadilac smooth,no shaking or vibration from the front wheels.
The power is...OH BABY
The leaning method of handeling.....Take a while and get use to it. You won't be able to just take this out in city traffic for a test drive,find an empty lot and practice,In my opinion this bike would not be good for beginners and old salty Dawgs will have to re-orientate themselves to the all lean system. If and when you get that down pat you will just love this bike and will think it is superior to any other scooter in the power and handling. I have'nt riden bikes in about six years because I lost my nerve after an accident and boy did I pick the wrong bike to relearn again,it'll scare the poopies outta you.
this bike would be good for a balls to the wall type rider....only after you've had practice on it.
In one sentence from Beatlejuice.....Great f'n model. I'll post alot more when I get comfy with it.

hello daddue11 , I just made this profile on this forum strictly because i found you on it speaking of the Sunny Roadrunner 300. First, let me tell you a tad bit about myself, I am 33 yrs OLD, I was born with Spina Bifida Occulta, which means I actually was lucky not to be confined to a wheelchair since birth. I NEVER driven in my life, for physical and mental reasons, (i highly lack the confidence to sit in a crap car and be able to control the thing). but not just a mental issue with me, it also is hindered by the lack of self control of my own body (I having no feeling with my feet and concept of feeling for control of a accelerator and brake pedal system as cars are). With that said, I had to laugh at myself reading your enthusiastic forum about your "Baby" and at the comment at the near even about needing a Balls to the Walls type of rider. I AM sort of that type, but with a sort of concern for safety of others deal, I know i can ride a bike, so (with the help of my father) we ordered this exact same reverse trike (in Silver) ,But, we are so unfamiliar about it (we even looked at the Can-Am Spyder and it was just seriously too powerful for my butt to handle) 300cc in Illnois is considered a motorcycle even if they call this Sunny Roadrunner 300 a scooter. (Class M for everything over 150cc)I am a bit worried about if my local DMV actually will allow myself to even get a M Class License without ever having had a driver's license. (hell when i was 16 my damn school didnt allow me to take Driver's Ed. worried over my "medical condition" and since then at 18 I ALWAYS Passed the written test for a driver's license but never taken the test behind the wheel. and im now 33 years old). I can pass the written just fine, in fact, I can ace it (seeming to be questions of COMMON SENSE!)

OK. Enough about me and my situation. I searched for info over this exact trike you so praise. Which has made me join this forum JUST to ask you, if you dont mind, to-date, it has been 537 Days -- or -- 76 Weeks and 5 Days, since this post of yours and I gotta ask, since you had enough riding time to experience any and all things on the Sunny Roadrunner 300. what else could you share and or expect of the trike now since you got it and could you tell me anything I myself should know before my own trike arrives in 5-6 weeks. I am literally pacing the drive way in anticipation here LMAO.

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on your order of a new bike. If you look in the general scooter chat (towards the bottom) I posted some articles about buying/owning a Chinese scooter that should help. If Dadude11 does not get back to you, there are some on here that are knowledgeable about the reverse trikes, there is even someone that is a member that Sells them I believe.

As to your state and the class M license. I live in Vermont, and here anything over 50 is considered a motorcycle and you need a class M. My suggestion is almost always to take the MSF course, however with your situation that may not be possible as you have to use one of their bikes in most states. I would contact them in your state and explain your situation and see if they will let you use your new bike (when you get it) to take the course. If not, then you can always go the get a permit and then take the road course route. As to needing a class C license to get your class M, I know that most states do not require that. However, your best bet is to contact your local BMV/DMV and find out.

Again, have fun with the new bike, please read those articles, and drive safe. Oh, and when you get it, we LOVE pics here

Just thought about something, and I don't mean to stir the pot. This is one of those issues where the three camps are divided by a HUGE abyss.

Breaking in.

Some break in "soft" like Dadude did (and most manufacturers suggest this).

Some break in "hard" (which is what I did on both my bikes).

Some break in with a combo of the two.

There are valid arguments for all, however the reason that I chose the hard method is because my thinking is that doing so seats many of the engine components better. Most of my riding on my 250 is done between the speeds of 50 and 75, so a 30mph break in just didn't make sense to me. Plus the bike would have been useless to me for the first 600 to 1,000 miles as I would not have been able to leave town with it (and it was purchased for out of town trips that I could not do on my 50).
