So I'm driving home from school on the highway today, and up ahead I see this yellow thing. I thought it was a Prowler...oh I haven't seen too many of those, let me get a better look. Well, as a I get closer, I realize it is NOT a prowler, as it only has one wheel in the back and two in the front, and it has side exhaust exits. I pass by it and it says TRIHAWK on the side. It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen. It seems to be a type of motorcycle, I found some info and pics on it here (http://nakedchassis.co.uk/2002/03/C0048.shtml) Anybody ever see or hear of these things?

Thats wild, so it's suppose to be a motorcycle? The only Tri motorcycles I see around here are the ones the older people get fitted for touring.

I saw one of these in a video of supra's on a dyno, they called it a T-rex, but I think as a nickname. squeeled its tires pretty well.

Yep my friends dad's friend (lol) owns the Texas franchise for the T-rexes. They're actually pretty sweet. . . 0-60 in like 3.6sec, 150hp, and Corvette tires. I think they run about $40,000-50,000 brand new though.

I'll also keep in mind its a piece of ****.:biggrin:
One of the shops that sponsored my Eclipse made something similar to that, it just had a much bigger engine and a plexiglass bubble/shell thingy that you'd sit inside with a roll cage and everything.
