it doesn't have to pass IVA as it's a trike, not a car.

I think it is great, being a wheel short of a seven, it doesn't need a reverse gear





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I always like the idea of a reverse trike, but I always end up questioning how much rear grip they have. They must be considerably lighter than a 7 type, which let's be honest often have trouble getting the power down and holding it out of corners so how much less traction do you get with half the contact patch....?

The r1 it comes from has a contact patch the size of a 50p piece, I am sure it wouldn't be too shabby.


Though I;d love to see what happens when it lets go, does it just spin or is it controlable.
