    Default whatzit?

    Googling will find some weird things. Hannigan is now in the reverse trike business. Don't know how to put in a link, so try hannigantrikes.com/content/reversetrike.html.
    Now GW riders can have it both ways.
    Wonder how it handles.

    Not sure why they call it a reverse trike, since it is now a quad. Wonder if you can do the front end conversion alone.

    I believe when they tried just the front end, the wheels ended up being too far forward making the machine unstable.

    If quads were legal in the states, which they're not, I would go for one of these over the GW.

    For me, most of it comes down to price. That Honda conversion is cool. But expensive, and just not me. The other reverse trikes like the T Rod, and T Rex are simply out of my price range, anyway. And, the quad pictured here is very cool. But, apparently not legal here. And, again, big $$$.

    The $18,000+ I am spending on my Spyder is a lot to me. But, going into the bigger $$$s is out of the question.

    Nice but looks too pricey for me. I'd rather get an old school Vette

    Uhhhh most likely! But, give me a 427 Cobra! Not to mention, it will blow the doors off of a Vette!

    Uh, oh... don't get me started on those again. I love 'em! But, I love Vettes, too.

    Default CONVERTABLE

    I BET THAT CONVERSION WILL RUN $40,000 OR BETTER. YOU CAN BUY A USED CONVERTABLE CHEAPER, OR FOR THAT MATTER A NEW ONE. I DON'T WANT TO SEEM CHEAP. BUT FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY THERE ARE TO MANY REALLY FAST CARS.

    I'm surprised by how many reverse trike configurations are actually available...the Spyder was my first exposure to this concept.

    A thorough listing can be seen at http://reversetrike.com/ready-to-ride.html

    I love the Spyder...but a few of these could be tempting and one heck of a lot of fun. I'm particularly fond of the Leanster.
