<div class="message"> I have an 07 Suzuki C50/Lehman, bought brand new in 07. It's not a bad "starter" trike, but comfort depends on your size, how/where you ride, etc. I went with the C50 for the same reason as you - to "try" triking before investing a lot of money. I have now spent 3 seasons wishing I'd gone with the C90. I ride highway to work (49 miles each way), and I can feel mine sluggish at times. I can keep up with almost everything I'm around, but it does feel like a struggle at times, almost like it wishes there was a 6th gear. Here in New England - pot hole heaven! - the straight axle is a bit rough too. I'm about 150lbs, 5'5", so it fit & general comfort were fine for me (I did add risers, although I rode them one season without & I was ok)<br />
<br />
There is a low speed head wobble, but mine goes away at about 30+. Until about a year ago, only the C90 had a damper, to the best of my knowledge (and I had called various Lehman dealers to ask).
And reverse for this trike is not an option from any manufacturer, period. <img src="images/smilies/frown.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Frown" class="inlineimg" /><br />

The trunk? Yes, definitely a joke! Weird V-shaped opening makes it difficult to put much of anything into it, although I HAVE managed small groceries etc, when necessary. I've even managed to put an overnight bag into it. Unless you only wear a beanie, you won't be putting a helmet into it, that's for sure!<br />
<br />
<font color="Red">Overall, I enjoy my trike but I can tell you in all honesty that as soon as I can find some money, I'm DEFINITELY "movin' on up"!! I should probably mention that this is my first bike/trike - I rode as a passenger a couple of times in my teens, and nothing until 2006 MSF course (I'm 50+ now). <font color="Black">[/</font></font><font color="Black">QUOTE] </font></div>

</div>The Lehman Tramp was, and still is, the most popular STARTER TRIKE in the industry. Most people cannot put 30K plus together for their first trike, and they may not like a trike after all is said and done. <br />

It has been a good seller, just like the Sportster for Harley-Davidson.
