motorman587 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 For some reason I like this..... http://www.thoroughbred-motorsports.com/tmTechnicalData.aspx Link to comment
Huzband Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Just what we need. A 3-wheeled, 33 thousand dollar Pinto. I'm kidding of course. It looks pretty cool. Link to comment
motorman587 Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 You are probably right, but I like the idea of a A/C and heater. Would be great to put kids in... Link to comment
Huzband Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 You are probably right, but I like the idea of a A/C and heater. Would be great to put kids in... And drink holders for the Harley crowd. Link to comment
upflying Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Somehow this three wheeler seems a bit more practical. Funny what you can buy when three wheelers are considered motorcycles. http://www.zapworld.com/electric-vehicles/electric-cars/xebra-sedan Link to comment
Ron_B Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I like it too, but if it has a steering wheel and a comfy bucket seat, it's really just a cool 3-wheeled convertible! Link to comment
motoguy128 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Couldn't they have picked a better motor than the Ford/Mazda 2.3L? It's about the most anemic, least refined motor in it's class, althouhg it does have the option of direct injection and turbocharging. Even the GM/Hyundai/Mitsubishi/Dodge/Suzuki 2.4L makes more power. Maybe it packages better than the others? I think Toyota/Yamaha 1.8L is a much better choice. That's what Lotus and a couple others use. Oh...but it has BF Goodrich tires! When I want performance in my tires I always look to BFG first. I don't really see how this is any better than a 4 wheel roadster convertible? A little better power to weight ratio maybe? For less money you can get similar performance from a handful of 4 wheel vehicles...that are much safer too and have luggage capacity. I guess I'm just one of those people, that once you add a 3rd wheel, unless maybe it's a sidecar, you might as well just add a 4th. Link to comment
CLEAN1 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Saw several of them on the road and parked last week at Biketoberfest. The manufacturer?/dealer was at the vendor booths at Sunshime Mall on South Ridgewood Ave in Daytona. They had four of these there and were using two for demo rides, but I did not bother to try one. I would rather drive my Corvette Convertible than one of these. Link to comment
Hoover Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 thinking one of these might be fun too, without the $80K price tag. K Flavor R Flavor Link to comment
baggerchris Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 My favorite is the ACE by Liberty sidecars up in Washington. A pretty faithfull modern rendition of the Morgan cyclecar, with HD 88/103 or aftermarket 120 CI engines. Link to comment
