Except those don't have an option of a 750 hp!!
They also don't have an option package that goes north of $100,00!!

Kind of reminds me of the guy that had a motocycle with a 396 Chevy that raced at the Fremont Drag strip back when there was a Fremont drag strip across Highway 17 (now highway 880) from the Fremont GM plant (now he Tesla Motors plant).

Damn, I'm showing my age....

Nice bit of design and fab, but how the h*ll do you stay on the thing? Duct tape your hands to the bars and velcro your butt to the seat?

I'll take this with a steering wheel and 5 point harness:

Or you could have a Carver:

That said, does not have the power. 65MPG, though.

That Carver probably creates a different driving sensation.

Poorly engineered I can guarantee judging by the seat.

That quad was in Hot Rod a few issues back. Hopefully the guy worked out the steering. You turn right and it goes left and vice versa. Would not want to be in traffic and make any split decisions!!

I would say Lazareth pretty much has the baddest street "quad" vehicles.
You can check YouTube for his BMW 12cyl quad.

It's taking away all the benefits of a bike, and introducing numerous con's as opposed to a car. And that's assuming it's well engineered!

Really??...would anyone actually buy that?
