Hmmmmm. Four wheels. Doesn't really qualify as a motorcycle does it.

Personally - I think I'll file this one under "ridiculous american cars" :msn-wink:

Words fail me (well, almost)... It must be fun to corner on, particularly through twisties -- there would be a big flat spot between right and left turns (when both wheels were on the ground) that would make it very snatchy on the steering. It would also be fun to pick up if you dropped it!

It actually leans with both pairs of wheels in contact with the ground at all times.

The only time it was riden, the leaning mechanism was locked. Then the test rider dropped it on its side doing a U turn at 5kph.

I'd still have one simply for what it is. :eek:

I think Kevin Cameron calculated it's fuel tank range at 23 miles.

I can see it now. Home-----> Upper Hutt Caltex -----> Kaitoke Gardens (wait for support crew to turn up with gas)----->Featherston Mobil-----> Martinborough(beg someone to open a gas station)---> etc, etc, etc

I'd love to see some wheelies, stoppies and knee scrapin action going on with that bike!

Finally! a bike worthy of my talents,every single bike I ridden - and I've ridden every bike made,even those not thought of yet - has been under powered and lacking in handling...there is just not enough grip on two wheels to hold up to my aggressive approach.The Viper V10 goes a long way to satisfy my hunger for power,although I find them lacking somewhat in top end...the 4 wheels should be able to give enough grip to get corner speeds up to where I want to be.I find out tomorrow whether my generous offer has been accepted.

Wheelies it may do. Stoppies and knee scraping I think may require some digital assistance.
When I saw it I could't believe someone actually made it! Typical yanks.
But I thought you all might enjoy seeing something different.

that pretty much echoes all the bike mag reviews I saw on this particular mechanical travesty. it doesn't do anything any other hypertourer bike can't already do... except cost far too much and make the rider look stupid without even needing to drop the bike

And I recall that the price was something astronomical too.

Better off spending that money on a new GSXR1000, a Ducati 999, and throw in an R1 and Brutale.

and still have money left over for fully comp insurance on all and petrol for a year!

I wouldn't mind taking it for a blat along the north western, but I wouldnt ride it around town, or take it through to many twisties. I don't think it would tip over in a courner, but it dosen't look likt you could throw it around at all

They have proved it once again, america couldnt design and build a decent bike, only dream up pretty ones. And to think how much money they spent to get it this far? I think you could get judge dredd to design something simular.

Nothing new under the sun - Brough Superior Golden Dream had paired wheels and a car engine back in 1937. Was intended to be a side car hauler, hence no need to lean.
