    Malcolm Smith rode one of those over to my dealership a month or so ago, parked it in the service drive. Within 5 min. there was about 50 people checkin it out. It's crazy to see in person...

        Perfect for a handicapped motorcycle rider. I say they should legalize these as they have trikes?

          Why not just get a bike. Imagine taking a turn at like 80 in that thing and not being able to lean into it. Youd fly right off unless youve got arms like Ahhhnold.

            At least you wouldn't be as hesitant to take it out on wet roads. I'm not sayin it would be completely safe, but at least fresh wet roads after a dry spell wouldn't be as risky. Maybe.
            Cool it might really happen - there's another one like this out there - called the Revolver if IIRC. Maybe KTM made it?

            I'd sooner rock one of these than one of those Smartcars any day, and I bet they're 1/3 the cost.

            I live a mile from my parents, and I take my YFZ450 up to their place all the time. Just wish it had reverse.

            It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

              Actually, I think the equivalent USD is $40,000-$50,000.

                All the more reason to rock one of these quads.

                  base msrp here in the us is 49,500.

                  Go to Dallas and pick one up from the importer.

                      Wow! - I thought it would be cheaper than one of those Smart Car things.
                      I bet they don't move any substantial amount until they get the price down to ~ <$10k. - You can buy a whole lotta quad even for that money. Bummer though, I thought these would be $8k, since it's a quad with some bodywork and wheels.
