Xzilirator

2006-2022

Brand Data

Xzilarator was offered as a set of construction plans for a homebuilt “reverse trike” (two front wheels, one rear) intended to use mass-produced motorcycle components within a custom chassis. The design was presented as a two-seat, fully faired trike, built around a welded steel frame and configured to integrate the engine and rear drivetrain from a Honda Gold Wing. It was described with passenger-car-like packaging (side-by-side seating under an enclosed canopy) while retaining motorcycle-style powertrain layout.

As published in the project specifications, the Xzilarator concept used a long 116-inch wheelbase and three-wheel disc brakes, with passenger-car front tires (185/80-13) and a motorcycle rear tire (160/80-16). Masterworks marketed the plans as a complete blueprint package rather than a manufactured vehicle, with discussion in enthusiast forums indicating the plans were sold in the mid-2000s at roughly US$95 and later at higher prices. No evidence in the available material indicated that Masterworks produced completed Xzilarator vehicles in series; the offering functioned primarily as documentation for individual builders to fabricate and assemble their own trike using sourced donor parts.
