Weird looking critter...

It looks like a racing bike that got into the donuts.

Looks pretty cool to be honest. The speed and fuel economy of a sport bike with the stability of an ATV. Probably much safer on the road than a regular sport bike.

I still say it's just a snowmobile with tires.

There's a guy with one of those in my neighborhood. When I first saw it, I thought he was riding an ATV backwards.

Looks like a guy building a motorized tricycle read the blueprint backwards . . .

outriggers and a roll cage and it would be the bike that joan claybrook had designed

I'm thinking three-wheeled Morgan designed by a minimalist.

MSRP is close to $17,000.

rear wheel drive lots of electronics

Probably safer than a sport bike, just because the geniuses can't wheelie it in rush hour traffic....

That was my first thought too.

I see one tooling around Lubbock on occasion. Strange critter.

It needs a rifle scabbard on the front fender.

I actually had a seat on one in Tomahawk: not comfortable to me. Guy tried getting me to take it for a test drive: about the only time I've turned down a test spin.

I've heard rumors that the mileage isn't up to par with other, actual bikes...

No, it just needs a roof, doors, and a steering wheel. Air conditioning optional.

$17,000? Geez, just get one of those Russian copies of a 1939 BMW with the sidecar.

Look cooler anyway.

And if I remember correctly, thye Ural "Military Model" includes the pintel mount for the MG... :D

Honda shop nearby sells em. I saw a video on one a few months ago. Very stable and nimble. I never did find out if it's drive wheels are the front two or the rear one.??

I think the T-Rex Campagna looks better...

...but at 3x the cost I'd have to win a couple of lotteries to justify one.
