    That's GG Taurus trike made in Switzerland.

    Based on BMW's K1200 4 cylinder engine with 175hp... It's fast.

    They make it also in 4 wheel configuration.

    If memory serves...

    Back a few years ago DocDuru was considering selling them. It appears that fell through for whatever reason. I believe he used it as his Avatar for a short period of time.

    I prefer the F3 Belt and sprocket to my Ryker shaft drive because its less noisy and more free wheeling?

    Did anyone else notice how many weights are on the wheel? Those stock tires really are junk. Sorry, I don't mean to start another tire thread.

    Funny you should say that!

    I showed the pic to my Missus (to show her what the 'non Rally' rear looked like! Really! ) and her first comment was "How bad is that tyre to need so many weights!" (She's Aussie too, but unlike me, She doesn't know how to speak like you lot do, so yeah, She said 'tyre' not 'tire'. )
