it looks like a jet ski with wheels...
Over here they're $27,990 and Midland Suzuki have sold 8, already!

Hmm. Just read the brochure. I wanna go!
I bet you could pretty much pin the throttle on that thing everywhere and just let the rear wheel sort itself out.

Yes to all of the above. I've also done Maraitai and Woodcocks.
Can-Am Spyder.
I've been smuggling for an anology, like Ix's Morgan thing, but it's not - it's got a 990 Rotax with a race pipe that sounds SUPERB. Taction control - VERY impressive suspension.
It's not a motorcycle. Save that bleat. It's not a car either.
It is a Spyder. And open road motoring is very exhilarating.
The full yarn will be in Kiwi Rider of course.
If you do take one - It has to be a good ride.
It's like a quad - but it's not. It's a mind fart to a motorcyclist for at least an hour. It took me a tankful before the mojo.
When the penny drops however. Fark. It is some serious fun.
I have quite a distinct image in my mind of what it would be like to ride. Halfway between hanging off and weighting the outside peg in corners, and oversteering on the power like a RWD car.
I might try to line up one of these for a returned-licence test-ride celebration alongside the XR1200 (if anyone will give me the key to one, that is).

This unit has foot shift and hand clutch. Linked foot brakes.
Do you need a car licence to ride it or a bike licence ?
Full bike licence.
I'd love to have a go on one for giggles.
Does it do mad stoppies (like th Piaggio MP3). And does the traction control mean you can't light it up and powerslide it everywhere ... big rear tyre though.
Did it freak you out in your first few corners with the whole "leaning the wrong way" thing?
I thought elections were decided by angry posts on social media. - F5 Dave
