This looks awesome! I'd prefer only one solo seat in the center tho...

Uses a Kawi ZX-12 engine. I saw it at the IMS in Houston. I think I'd rather have an Ariel Atom though.

I thought this was a one-of-a-kind, but this is actually produced...

Oh well..

Yes. Their manufacturer and distributor in the US is http://www.brammo.com/
http://www.arielatom.com/ariel/site.php is the Ariel Atom site

i still haven't read anywhere that it's street legal...

Alphamazing · February 21, 2006, 11:32:22 AM

It is. You can call 'em up and ask to be safe, but it's definitely street legal in the US.

I saw a t-rex at a bike show in dallas, it was pretty awesome. the controls for the horn and turn signals are the same ones on a bike just mounted on stubby little bars. it was sorta funny and cool that they used the motorcycle stuff.

I saw one at a bike night last year, and it turns out we have a local dealer in South Florida. Definitely street legal, but don't get caught in the rain. I think they are about $20 grand, but don't hold me to that, it might be higher. My birthday is in October, and if you all start saving up now...

I'd rather have an attack. Superior performance and half the cost.

Downers Grove Yamaha (better known as DGY) has a yellow one on display in their showroom, it looks the shaZam!, but $50,000?!? For that price, I'd be inclined to import one of those INSANE Ariel Atoms that someone posted a TopGear video about the other week.

Why not just buy a Miata?

Nearly 1000lbs lighter than the Miata and twice the horsepower out of the box...cheaper than the MS Miata, too.

Get it right

makenzie71 · February 21, 2006, 05:24:01 PM

Mr.7 · February 21, 2006, 05:29:46 PM
