LaPorte,Tx. | Have any of you seen this before? Looks like it will be coming to the US soon. Victory, this or something like it, is what you need to market in the future! When I get to the point I can't or don't want to hold up a 850 lb motorcycle anymore, this is what I want. I can see me diriving one of these when I'm really old!

Ma. | I saw it on a Discovery Channel episode. It leans like a motorcycle.... it did look like it could be fun to try. If I am not mistaken they are made by hand one at a time, not mass produced.... and the price was about $50,000.
Not for me but I am sure when the economy improves they will find a market.

O'Neill, Nebraska | Interesting look. I like the fact that it leans like a bike....just a souped up trike with a roof. |

Oh man I think you're right! I checked out the specs and no mention of AC.
Maybe you can pop the canopy off and just have a fairing mounted on the front...then loose the steering wheel and install some handle bars with the hand throttle...yank out the gas pedal...put in a foot shifter on the left side...feed that little 659cc turbo some steroids up to maybe 1300cc still turbo charged...but able to do like 10 seconds in the quarter mile!
Hey maybe it comes with a conversion kit 
When I'm too old to ride my Vision...I guess I'll drive one of these...better have the conversion kit ready when I need it!!!!! |
