Saw this on "Clarkson No Limits Shoot Out" on ONE today. Clarkson had rated it as the "Most Fun To Drive Car of 2003". I would have called it a Trike. What do you guys think?

Jeremy Clarkson always says he absolutely detests motorcycles, yet he rates the "car" most like a motorbike as the most fun to ride?!?!

There's no influencing some people. But, I do like Jeremy's show Top Gear, bloody good viewing.

The tilting trike concept has been around for a fair while - there was an Aerial branded one in the early 70s.Most are only 50cc jobs,and I've ridden some.One had a bit of work done on it by some clown,he'd made a leading link front end and stuff - it was a hoot to ride hard,you could push real hard into corners until the front end went all floppy...no worries,just keep it nailed...there was no way you could lose the rear,with 2 wheels and all that weight on them,the best I could do was chatter on a corrogated corner to get the arse out.A serious big one would be a thrill alright.

well it is disputible since it was all hydraulics but when I saw it at first I thought bike, and thought that he was going to burn it to the ground.

I vote car though!

But I really do wonder what to term it as, would love to drive/ride it though

What defines a motorbike/trike? Tough question I guess.

Were Robin Reliants ever sold in NZ? http://www.3wheelers.com/robin.html

Classic three wheeled Brit car of Only Fools & Horses fame. Now that was a car. Wasn't it? :spudwhat:

If this is the vehicle that I think you are talking about....
there was one in Palmie North in the 70's.... i think it was....
And I am sure that I have seen one still around in Auckland....
that was is still classed as a car...

A "top speed of 180 km/hour.". Ha, I know quite a few trikes the would kick it's butt. How boring. Now if they put a Busa motor in it:yeah:

The answer Biff is bi=2 and tri=3 (wheels) or to put it another way a motortrike is not a motorbike.
