All 80 points is actually great.
If you have never ridden a Tricker, what kind of image do you have of it? It's neither on-road nor off-road, and it's hard to call it a trial motorcycle or naked motorcycle. I'm sure you have an image that the ride is half-way decent.
When I saw the Tricker for the first time, my feeling was that it was a larger version of the Suzuki Street Magic. Although it was made by a different manufacturer, I felt that the underlying concept of the motorcycle was just fun to play with.
It can be used for street riding, high-speed riding, off-road riding, customizing, and trail riding, and it can be enjoyed at a high level in all of these genres. The fact that it is a 250cc motorcycle and does not require vehicle inspection is also a big attraction.
It's hard to think of such a versatile motorcycle in the current model range. No matter what you do, it's 80 points! The Tricker is such a great motorcycle.
The Tricker has been loved for about 20 years, but it has been discontinued along with its big brother, the Serow. With new models still available, I thought it would be a good idea to take a fresh look at the Tricker.
