Daytona today

[Way2Fast]

We just got back from Daytona. Today was officially the first day of Bike Week. Beautiful 70 degree weather, however the crowds were down drastically from prior years. Seems like some of the regular exhibitors were also missing. Maybe things will pickup later in the week?? BRP had 2 semi trucks along with a bunch of Spyder demos. Next to their display was BMW motorcycles. They had an interesting red quad on display called a "GG Quadster". Take a look at it on their website, www.GGQuadNA.com The brochure they gave out had different specs than what is on the website.....like 3.5 sec to 60 mph, 135+ top speed, 60 - 0 in 100 feet, weight 825 lbs, 4 cylinder with 167 hp. in the brochure. The website is way more conservative. The workmanship on the quad was flawless and it should be for a $49,500 base price !

is that thang street legal?

If I recall correctly, it is not, because it has four wheels, and is therefore subject to the same safety standards/requirements as an automobile.

They were setup with a trailer and a couple of those last year at Deals Gap. They were riding them up there so I'm guessing they were okay or maybe they had some sort of special permit. They looked cool but I could buy a pretty killer car or truck for that kinda of money.

In the voice interview on their website that was done at Daytona they say the thing is street legal, but I wonder how, since motorcycles can only have up to 3 wheels. With 4 wheels you would require seat belts, special bumpers, etc as in a car. ??
