tR1ke and other trike kits

[200bhp]

I'm looking at a few options at the moment, among which is the tR1ke trike kit.

It appeals because of it's low cost and the ability to use a bike engine - Here in Australia you cant fit a bike engine into a car .

But what are they like to drive?

I've done track days in the UK in "rental" Westfields so I'm familiar with how a well set-up 7 type car will handle and feel.

Sadly there are currently no similar 3 wheelers this side of Australia and the tR1ke official importer is only half way through their first build.

This is what the tR1ke looks like for those not familiar with it:

Funnily enough the ex-demo and a customer built version have both just been sold through ebay - around the £10k mark

• EDIT* tell a lie - the demo is back on ebay @£13k http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MEV-tR1ke-Yamaha-R1-powe...
