It just looks right. The layout makes pefect sense except for one part of the system that you can't pick up from the 'photos. How is the drive train (chain)routed to the rear wheel? Do you have any 'photos showing this? Regards,Geoff Hi, I came across the Kamikaze trike only recently and now check it out almost daily for inspiraation. It just looks right.

The pictures just don't do it justice. With the gigantic tire in the back (larger than both rear tires of most cars), all the downforce wings, it must just hug the ground. I like the fact that there is a frame around you, yet still like a motorcycle in the open. And, just my opinion, but you can never have too much Horsepower!!

The Busa's weakness is handling and braking, and putting two wheels up front is a much better way to go. From the looks of the video, driving it seems easy enough. If they need a test pilot I am in!

'cause then the vee-hic-ule wouldn't have too much horsepower and flames! ;) “Why can’t American alt-vehicle builders get away from the “too-much-horsepower-for-the-weight-and-photo-realistic flames” design paradigm?”
