Move over trikes...bring on the quads!

Never even heard of something like this. Interesting. Looks like about $30k, installed. That makes for a $60k (brand new) Gold Wing. Ouch.

I guess there's a market for anything. I would just buy a nice sports car instead of that thing.

Damn , I do not like the look! With 4 wheels I wonder if you have to register it as a car instead of a bike? As most states I believe allow 3 wheels max for a bike! But I am a old fart and my memory may be way off lol

I will keep my 2012 Goldwing stock...:)
At best, should I ever get to the point that age, health stops me from riding 2 wheels,
I would go trike.

Those were my thoughts. For 60 large, I can get a pretty damn nice, sporty convertible. Not quite the same as a motorcycle but then again, that quad isn't quite the same as a motorcycle, either. I DO think it's a cool concept, just not for the money.

I cant see them selling them in any numbers. Seems like a bad business idea to me.
But then Jay Leno will probably buy one.

I'd hate to see the Canadian price, probably close to a new Vette here.

Put a roof and doors and call it a civic. It's really getting away from it and someone thinks people have more money than sense.
