What are these 3 wheel vehicles people are driving now?

[speakeasy]

I'm wondering what they're called. They have 3 wheels, 2 in the back, 1 up front, sit very low to the ground and make a whole lot of noise. I saw some Vin Diesel looking dude driving one and he had all these purple neon ground effect lights hooked up and was bumping house music. It has a bit of a Canopy over it, but the sides look exposed. It looks something like this, but it's not this: http://images.businessweek.com/ss/06/01/3_wheel_cars/image/intro.jpg

Pretty fun looking vehicle, but I have no idea who makes them or what they're called.

Damn, those things are over $50,000. Well, scratch that off my wishlist.

Why not get a can am roadster? They're much cheaper and tons of fun.

Those things have been out for some years. I remember seeing it in a Jadakiss/Bubba Sparxx video. Yeah, it's been that long. In fact, I think a luxuary car rental place here used to have one.

Id spend a little more and get a Z06 Corvette.

Because that moto is gay as fvck. Most people who ride those also wear Mantyhose, call them Susan alone, and get fvcked up the butt with a strap on.

Whatever man. Not everyone has the skill to ride a motorcycle (or a high performance sports car for that matter). I've driven a can-am and they're decently quick open top for under 17k. It's a steal for thrill seekers who don't want to go beyond their means and abilities.

lol.

So, basically, its a vaginacycle that has the training wheels built in the front. Anyone can ride a motorcycle. My fvcking MOM rides a police special harley, on long trips, and she's on disability. Hell, I know a guy in a WHEELCHAIR that rides a motorcycle. he does it from a sidecar. its crazy to look at a bike with no rider and someone in the sidecar cruising along!

There is NO excuse for any man to ride that thing, save for curiosity alone. That thing is just a fad that people will buy because its 'different.' different doesnt mean cool. See the snollerblading, I mean, 'ski-boarding' thread.

That thing makes no sense. Its like riding a bike, but not being able to lean into the turns. What reason is there to have two wheels in the front? Just drive a damn convertable. Retarded.

Build your own. Other kit plans on that site too.

SAFETY is the key issue. Anyone CAN ride a motorcycle but as some one who use to sell them I can tell you almost everyone crashes a bike at some point and the primary reason is loss of control. With this the probability of wrecking due to loss of control at high speeds is almost completely negated. You'd have to burn out uncontrollably in a very specific direction to flip it.

Anyway there's no difference between this and a standard cruiser trike other then the fact that the two wheels are in the front. And Harley Davidson (the most renown motorcycle company in America) makes trikes.
