Convert Your Motorcycle Into A Trike Roadster?

The following text is taken straight from the website: http://www.phoenixtrikeroadsters.com/

REVERSE TRIKE ROADSTER

Economical - 45 to 60 mpg
Value - precision engineered - US built

Front engine - shaft drive motors
Mid engine - chain or belt drive motors

Available in single or double seating
Optional body styles
Kit or turn key

Evidently someone among us Trike lovers (gas paying haters) is running motorcycle conversions into a Reverse Trike. The general public views them as more safe (what really is safe?), if VW had produced the GX3 they would be the leaders in a niche market that is slowly wedging itself onto the streets of America.

More surprisingly thou is the fact that the Japanese sport bike manufacturers have not jumped in (still on the search for any concepts), on the same token Peugeot (not Japanese) did however make a concept. See it here.
Being a devils advocate, is America- a sue crazy society-ready for machines such as these, machines that do 0-60 in 4 seconds and handles like formula cars, especially in the hands of guys who think real racing is in a straight line.

The T42 Turbo




Based on a Suzuki GSX-R 1000 motorcycle with the added power of a turbo, this trike may not be as quick as a T-REX with uses a Kawa-waki-saki (Kawasaki) 1400 R engine, but it does look like a fighter jet about to take off.

Can't find anything on price thou-if there isn't any, that just means it cost too much-guess its all as well too, something that looks like that not only is an attention getter but would definitely prompt some stoplight Grand Prix.

Parts of the site is in English-anyone care to translate the other parts?

Cirbin V13R


Link


0-60 in 4.5 seconds starting @ $39,995.00
Check out the price breakdown for this sweet ride (above). Too bad VW gave the GX3 the ax, evidently there is a niche market for vehicles such as these springing up out of the woodwork. If you can get away with driving a vehicle with a motorcycle engine, HOV lane friendly and use your current driving license-Hell why not (especially with gas prices going through the invisible roof). A bit more cost friendly for the everyday joe-such as the Can Am Spyder (sport bike competitor).
