G'day from the Great Southern land,
Just been watching a nifty program called "Beyond tomorrow"...(sorta educational....doh!!)
They displayed a brilliant piece of engineering from an Alan Martin, UK designer, that married an 850BMW boxer motor to the rear end transmission of a car to form a Trike.
Seen here at http://www.pdpconquest.com
6 speed sequential gearbox, plus reverse, all operated from 3 buttons mounted under the throttle grip.
Price they quoted was $45,000 Oz, which was expected to less with better/more production techniques.
This machine looks as revolutionary as did the K12LT back in '99 and would not be out of place standing alongside it.
What a great machine for those unlucky enough to have to be permanently accompanied by yet another set of two wheels.
