Lawks!

Sounds good though, right? You know, if you have everything (say you're Jay Leno) you'd probably get one of these too I reckon.

How many decades do you have to go back to get a 3L Ferrari V8 that makes only 250hp? I'm thinking at least three...

If you're gonna spend money on that... thing... you may as well pay the extra $20k...

Like trikes, I reckon they're the worst of both worlds. Disadvantages of cars (wide, needs more space) plus the protection of a bike (rain, accidents).

Seconded. Been following him for years.

His mini's aren't bad either.

Anyone remember "Babylon AD" those are his bikes.

They call that thing in the O.P. a "quad" but it seems more like a trike with a very wide rear wheel.

Back in the 80's I read an article in some car magazine about a trike built using the front-end of a Mini.

The claim in the article was that a trike set-up with two (driven) wheels front and one wheel back was the ideal. Best road-holding and stuff.

I am still in love with the dark red VFR800 'fighter he did, pure art.

I suspect that with that much grunt and with so much tire if you did explore it's cornering potential you'd be shot off at a tangent to the desired direction of travel at great velocity and somewhere around head height. :eek:

Nah. That's just a funny shaped car without a roof.

Now that is what a 3 wheeler should be like. I love it.

For me it was his VMAX's.......

I also laughed at the fact he went out there and made BKING's before suzuki went into production......and the parts became so popular that Suzuki finally paid attention.

That wouldn't be hard to do on a spyder, potential lateral g-force is very high. They seem to "sit" the pilot lower, with more support in the Lazareth, though. You'd still need a very delicate and educated right hand...

So, much as I'd like a test ride...
