    In the rain, that would be significantly less than enjoyable. Unless you're a duck.

    970 lbs. yikes! Back in my college days we threw together a portly Formula SAE car that weighed in at 600, it had 4 wheels and, if not for that pesky restrictor, would've made well over 150hp. Marotti may be on to something, but I say back to the drawing board



    I prefer my 12 year old VFR motors in 12 year old VFRs.

    Apparently, he used up all of his misguided creativity in the design of the vehicle, and had nothing left for a logo.



    What if we just change a BMW logo to red?

    @smalleyxb122: I think those are calibration marks for the inevitable and probably unexpected high speed crash test.

    Was this a missing scene from Lord of the Rings, or was the music just poorly chosen?

    @Fast_Nel: That's actually what led me to this in the first place. I started on the GSXR Smart, which led me to a 'Busa powered Isetta (more boring than I ever thought possible), then to the 'Busa Mini.

    Not being content with world domination via the GT-R, additional efforts were called for. Prepare for the release of the indignant, fearful Ferrari press statement in 5, 4, 3....

    Why would anybody put a third wheel on a Busa and disable it from putting your knee close to the ground on a twisted road?

    FAIL!!!!

    Jesus, I'd have the DOTS Skylark.


    Trikes are for three year olds and guys who are looking to avoid sex.

    Trikes are abominations.


    Except for the guy in Eugene that made a Harley with a side car and rigged it so he drove from the sidecar. That was a mindscrew.
