A Mazda Miata might be cheaper, and lighter.

I always thought one of their trailers would look sharp behind a spyder.

I may be wrong on this but I heard the problem with a 4 wheeled bike was how to register them. They can't be registered as a bike as they have more than 3 wheels, and have to be registered as a car. with car safety items, seat belts, airbags, etc. I know of a least 2 companys that have had prototypes that never went into production because of this. I like to know how they get around this. I see on there specs and price page they show installion on a stock GL 1800 only, which would be a 3 wheeler.

I'd heard the same thing about quads, they're not legal in the U.S.. But my thoughts about the conversion kit is that since it's a modification that it won't change the way you register your bike. Now if it was a ground up build I think it would be a different story.

This one is street legal as far as I know. I saw them running at Deals Gap one weekend.

I spoke with a guy from this company and this is what he had to say:

Your question has a complex answer. It depends on the state. Technically, Trikes can be illegal in California much less a Quad. In Montana, the Quad is preferred over a Trike. In KY, legal, etc.. and so on and so on. As for US in general, the only thing that applies federally is that the Quad can not currently be registered as a car because it does not have 5 mph front and rear bumpers. As I said, multi-faceted issue.

I guess I'm moving to one of those states! :thumbup:

But not as cool looking.
