Did anyone else see that reverse trike on the news. Big vtwin formula front suspension, huge single rear tire very low slung. Maybe not a true sportbike, but a very sporty trike. I believe they said it was being manufactured in so. cal. area.

Not a reverse trike but definitely interesting!

The Carver is cool, but $48,000.00!?!
YEAH BUT IT WOULD BE LIKE GITTIN ON A 2.00 AMUSEMENT RIDE ON EVERY TRIP.

 
I'm just afraid that with my fat *** in there the first time it leans into a corner, it stays in that position. Stan

 
The carver looks neater than the T-Rex and isn't much more expensive - but the T-Rex is FAAAAST and the Carver is SLOOOOW.

As I wrote, I test rode the Can-Am - what a weird feeling. Going around corners it tilted in the wrong direction (couldn't lean in, so was very disconcerting) and the suspension is very soft.

Brakes are excellent, but there's no hand brake, just the foot one.

Dash is a combination of electronic (LCD display that by default includes a speedo) and analog (speedo). Go figure.

Fast enough for me, but just too bouncy - running at 100 on one of these would be very dangerous in my opinion.

I'm not buying one.
