Anyone get to test-drive one of these? Holy cats are they SWEEEEET! Did not have chance to drive but checked it out at Filer's/Macedon this weekend, where many lucky people did get opportunity to test drive. Looks like a flippin sled...awesome! Not sure about tossin' that much cash at it tho...for 16 grand I could get an upgrade on my auto & my sled....

As a matter of fact...  I did take a test ride up in Lake George earlier this year. They are all that and a bag of doughnuts! Hella fun to ride and every feature they advertise works as advertised. In fact, farmgirl thinks she wants one.  |

I mean this is a positive fashion...u SUK! Road behind a couple guys & as they crossed a one lane metal bridges, seemed to jump pretty good at threshold. IYO- their driving? Other than that, bike appeared smooth. |

Well, they do have three wheels. Whenever you cross any sort of road imperfection at an angle, you will see/feel some side to side movement. IMHO the suspension, brakes and control of the machine are like a quad or sled on steroids. accelerates/handles/tracks/brakes like a $50k sports car. It's not a motorcycle and isn't meant to me but you do get the same sensations as riding a bike/quad/sled as you sit in the cockpit, straddling that seat and holding those bars.

I rode one at Flier's last month.
It seemed fun, kind of like riding a quad on the road.
It was interesting but not so interesting that I'm going to drop $15K on one.

15k is expensive even if I fell in love with it... |

15k isnt so awful bad.....considering what you can really buy nowadays (toy-wise) I just think it will take a lot for it to catch on.....maybe show up in a Bond movie or something....  |

I wonder if that's where they intend to debut the "semi-auto, electronic transmission". Might make a nice (but pricey) entry level machine that would get good (great?) fuel mileage. |
