Almost bought that 6 months ago for the wife. Didn't actually see it up close. :undecided:

Something about 400 pounds lighter.

The front end is 1/2 of a quad. :smiley: I wonder how it steers. An old guy had it for parades and I ? what it's like at speeds. Wouldn't touch it w/o riding it first.

Yep, Thats it! Thats what that trike reminds me of....needs the matching "continental kit" for the rear end! Or at least a set of round top DB bags with the huge trim rails that go around them :grin:
