Strange though - much like a trike. Why would you buy one since you still have to sit in traffic.

No it's not. It's powered by the Daihatsu motor from the series 1 Copen!
I've been following it's progress from the prototype stage...at least 5 years.

[QUOTE=Daffyd;1182733]Some ppl have more $$'s then sense. Why would you build something so unpractical? Maybe as a one off. But I assume this one is supposed to be "mass produced" and sold to the masses??? But who will buy it apart from some rich ones that want one more toy?

Diahatsu/Hyundai all the bloody same to me, either way its not a manufacturer usually associated with such high prices.

agreed why on earth part with that much coin for a three wheel cage
BMW Motorrad
Ah what?! $91k for that thing? F@!# Off I Say!
Honestly, With that amount of money, some people can buy an entry Mercedes E-class.
OR
2 Aprilias and a Ducati for a nice biker
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
Scotsman on a German
Why do people in New Zealand think Mercedes are pretty neat cars? The rest of the world recognises them as the taxis of the third world....I can't believe how much kiwis are prepared to pay for German cars
But seriously - I could buy 12 of my bike with $91K and still have a couple of grand left over to buy a family Stationwagon. So no, I won't buy one.
Bear in mind it's a Dutch product so the designers were probably off their tits on weed at the time.
In space, no one can smell your fart.
BMW Motorrad
LOL with $91K, I can buy 24 Scorpios and still get some change lol
But honestly, that is a piece of shit.
$91k? If its a combination of a bike and a car, then it should do something both have common.
If it's a bike:
Then it should be able to go through traffic jam.
should park at ease
Fast
If it's a car
It should comfort the driver
Safe (Except the Chinese cars)
Since the price is over $90k, It should have some power and topspeed.
But that bike(?)/Car(?) has neither!
It's shit! Ridiculous price too!
IMO it would be a big hit if the price were to be around $40k ATLEAST
Campagna T-Rex is a big hit in America Markets these days
