Jim Musser's Sportcycle from USA.

Bloke tried to bring it over here years ago, but it all came to nothing.

Sorry to digress but I find it really funny....... the donor bike still has the seat attached

How else do you expect to take the wife out if there wasn't a seat still on it?

Doesn't the driver operate it from the bike seat and the missus barks orders from the cockpit?

Does anyone on here happen to know of one of these on the road either here or in the States? I've recently been told there were only 3 made & 2 have been written off - the one pictured here being, supposedly, the last one left???

This doesn't sound all that likely, I thought there were quite a few sold stateside & I recall someone trying to bring it over here - it was in one of the kitcar mags somewhere around late '90's early 2000's IIRC

Anyone throw any more light on that?

you are correct russ,

This is possibly the last one and will be poss for sale soon?

hence reason to get a price if possible?

I'm guessing I've been approached by the same people, but I still find it unlikely that there is only one left ....................., one left in the UK I would believe, but surely more in the States?

I saw one of those outside the Manchester bike show last year. I think it was red and white but there was no seat on the doner bike.

Pretty sure a mate of a mate bought the right / plans for this years ago and also had the demo 'car' with a ZX9R stuck up its chuff. He planned to market them but I don't think it ever got off the ground. Apparently the demo was a proper handful and he managed to mount a kerb and wipe out a shop sign just pulling out of a junction
