Born To Be Wild: Motorcycles/Trikes
Mike Marino

The open road has an allure all it's own. It's a symbol of freedom and adventure and nothing signifies that “Easy Rider” spirit more than kicking asphalt on a motorcyle. Think Brando in “The Wild One” and for a destination think Sturgis, as the ultimate biker vacation. This rugged individual spirit can be enjoyed by all, and the handicapped community has taken to the road with a vengeance thanks to new innovations in handicapped motorcycle technology when it comes to handicapped transportation thanks to Martin Conquest and BMW.

Martin Conquest is the acknowledged leader in the arena of handicapped motorcyles for wheelchair users and others with disabilities. Not only are it's designs user friendly, but, the powerplant of the Conquest R1200R touring trike is awesome.

Powered by a BMWR1200R series Boxer engine, with a 1170cc flat twin power unit combined with a a lightweight body, the trike will give you a top speed of 105 MPH (great for the Indy 500, but you may get ticketed at that speed even in Montana) and a thrifty 45 MPG.

Ithe R1200R handicapped motorcyle has a remote controlled ramp that places the rider into a “safety cell” with push button locking system and complete access to the electronic six-speed gearbox with push button operation.

You can get a fully custom paint job and a music system so advanced, you can crank up your mobile three wheeled tower of power to ten decibels while screaming along to your favorite Steppenwolf tunes while cruising into Sturgis for the annual rally.

Don't get left behind. Hit road in style aboard the R1200R...safety, speed and mobility for the handicapped easy rider with power to spare for those with a zest for life and were born to be wild..in a handicapped wheelchair!
