Would you ride it? buy it?
06/23/15 at 19:29:22

Ran across an article on the Thrive MC T500 (why they call it a 500 I don't know, its a Yamaha 225)

Looks like it would be a decent trail bike here out on the sandy ranges, and would probably be a good desert/high planes bike.

I just can't get around the boxy look though. I would probably change that....

Reply #3 - 06/24/15 at 03:24:47 No I wouldn't buy it.....and I wouldn't ride it. And I would probably throw stones at the folks that designed it. It is just plain goofy looking.

Reply #6 - 06/24/15 at 03:55:37 Wow Hovis.....that thing is really ugly too! It looks like somebody got parts from 3 or 4 different bikes and put them together.....and they only had 2 back fenders to use.

Sure she would
just not at the same time you were on it Grin

I liked the TW200 too, but I think it's a pretty limited ride (great on sand / mud, not so great on hard surfaces)

Hard to justify a 4th bike and I don't want to get rid of any of my present three.
