one word.......why?

[triumph]

some people have too much money .

It's not just about money, it's about principle. When creating a vehicle with an aspect of performance why put it in a medium that is inefficient for anything but drag racing. And even then it'd need one of those non-wheelie-bars at the back.

Trikes with one wheel up front are retarded. They have all the disadvantages of a car and all the disadvantages of a bike. They just do not turn corners at anything but walking pace. Were it to have two wheels up front with some independent suspension the trike concept would be much more plausible when focusing them on performance.

You mean like them scooters getting around ? that concept has been out for a while, and not just on scooters..


On topic of Italian bikes. Ive fallen for the new 2009 KTM 990 R superduke. Never have been a fan of naked bikes, but this one just appealed to me somehow.
The guys from Rapid magazine had one they where testing at the creek over the weekend, and watching them go round and round really got me curious on them . Not much written about them that I can find anyway, and some that is written has disclaimers asking not to publish or crosspost on forums ( advertising thing ? ), but heres a pic from the net. I want a ride (will take ph books with me to reach the floor :D )..
