OK try that one, and there is another one called a T-rex. Costs 50 grand and freaking looks like it is a baby corvette. IMHO ... you have to make the thing ... buying one from a shop wont work, and if it looks faaaar to sanitary to be a bike, its not a bike ... if the damn thing has a steering wheel I'd say its losing the battle ... add windows that roll up and a wiper mechanism and adios ...
Cool.

I think the Carver looks ugly.  It could use a skin that flows better, but it looks absolutely pedestrian at the moment.

And I sorta like the 2 wheels in front, 1 in back, like the Shrike and T-Rex have.  How the Carver is set up, looks like one of those little delivery scooters they've got in Asia.  If I wanted something like that, I figure I could tack a trike conversion kit on a Gold Wing, strip off the bodywork, and put an enclosed cockpit on it.  Oh, so it would have handlebars instead of a steering wheel.   :dunno:

Three wheels kills it for me.  If you're going to give up leaning, give me four contact patches for cornering.

looks ugly or not, carver's leaning cockpit makes it extraordinary

It's a funky-ass leaning-that's-not-leaning.  If you don't go on the side of the tire... my own bias.

Another new 3 wheeled option, this one's closer to a motorcycle: http://www.brudelitech.com/product.htm
