I went to MEV today for a spin out in the demo vehicle, all I can say is WOW....
Mind blowing performance, fantastic road presence, it was a lovely day and it made the test drive fabulous. I was of course the passenger, and there
is a d**n good reason they don't let average Joe drive it, its a brute on acceleration. I now know that my money is going into one of these early
next year. They are currently building one for a 78 old gentleman and putting an R6 engine in, the reason I mention this is because they are working
on a reverse motor for this man. I will be very interested to see this in action.
I cannot emphasis enough what a brute this is on the road. and can also be driven slower and is a great ride.
Just going to work out my finances and I will need to sell my Z1000 to part fund it. I am so glad I made the trip down to MEV today.
Nick
nice one! any pics?
piccy's needed
Just add me on Facebook.
Look For Nick Wardle
Pic is of BA off the A-Team
Look under Profile and MY NEW TOY once I accept you, I took several pics but only put 4 on Facebook, I have hopefully sold my bike this weekend and
hope to have a kit on order sometime this year from MEV.
I kinda like the nutty things MEV come up with but the trike looks like a farm gate with wheels on.......
The thing you have to decide is this:
Do you want a Type 7 car?
If so, there are loads of different types that all pretty much look the same, similar as the Cobra's etc
Now MEV do make extreme vehicles, much along the lines of the Aerial boys.
At first the TR1KE to me looked a bit odd, but once you have been out in it and felt that power, its fabulous. The looks you get are fantastic, if
you like posing, this is for you, its defo for me. No matter what car is on the road, when you pull up in that, all eyes are on you. Now I have
driven the Campagna T-Rex in Daytona and apart from slightly more grip at the back due to a huge 335 wide tyre, the power is really no different, the
acceleration will blow your socks off, 70MPH in first gear, jesus, if that doesn't impress you nothing will.

I built an MNR, im sure you may have read up about it dying on the rolling road, well although that had essentially the same engine as the Campagna,
what makes all the difference is the standard chain driven delivery to the rear wheel. No multitude of prop shafts to drive through a reverse gearbox
to a rear diff. None of that drag, the same layout as a bike, no silly setting up of the engine angle, all natural layout, you feel very confident in
hammering the trike down the road knowing the wheels at the front are not gonna through you off unlike a bike. All I can say is, if you are
considering a really inspiring drive, do not over look this. As soon as I can sell my bike, I will have one on order.
I guess you will either love the look or hate it. Now I have seen it in the flesh, I have to say, I LOVE IT....
