How About a Nice Lazareth Triazuma for Your Morning Commute?

By Paul Crowe

Ludovic Lazareth has been turning out some fascinating custom builds for many years and the Triazuma you see here is well known. It’s a reverse trike with power courtesy of a Yamaha R1 engine. It looks just plain brutal and sure to get you grinning when you’re not wide eyed with terror as you try to make that impossible turn you just entered way too hot, but other than those unplanned near death experiences, I wonder why some manufacturer hasn’t built something along these lines.

The Can-Am Spyder seems to be pretty popular and some of the guys that like reverse trikes are sure to think the Triazuma is just what the doctor ordered. When all of your buddies have gone the Can-Am route, why not show up for Saturday coffee on the Triazuma? Watch their jaws drop.

It looks like somebody up in Montreal, Quebec owns this and has it for sale. He’s asking $30K $25K, which puts you somewhere in Spyder territory and it’s low mileage (or is that low kilometerage?) so you could weigh the pros and cons and come out with something a lot cooler for your morning commute. Just sayin’ …

    The width (and size) of those tires is totally unecessary and likely does nothing to improve contact patch at the expense of excessive unsprung weight…

      Yeah, but they look cool.

      Form rules over function.

      Especially with image vehicles.

      The Triazuma doesn’t tilt so you don’t need to have narrower round shoulder motorcycle tires, you can put on a wider flat contact patch and get some grip. The R1 engine is a pretty stout power plant, and with a single drive wheel, a wide tire helps put that power to ground. The wheels are 17 inch, no taller than most bike wheels, plus the setup looks pretty cool.

      For that matter, I’ve seen Can-Am Spyders running around with wheel and tire combos that look just as big or bigger. I like it just like it is.

    Is that a mower deck? Cool! Just think how quickly you can knock out the South 40!

      Trying to picture it in John Deere green with a yellow seat and big lawn tractor tires, hmm, … well, maybe.
