Has to be a helluva ride. I’ve ridden in a couple 9-10 second cars and that was a good experience. I didn’t see a 5 second breakdown but here is a 4 second one.

How about a Kawi 750cc Triple 2 stroke and all wheel drive.
Check it out on @slimsfab on Instagram. He has a video on Instagram explaining the drive system.

Pass on that monster. That triple was a rpm terrorizer, left more soiled leathers than any other bike!

Used to be a guy locally with one. You could hear it a mile away coming and maybe two miles leaving.

I'm not into trikes at all, and that one just looks odd and squished up. Kudos on the engineering side of it, but I'd rather have an unmolested TZ750, or better yet that mill in a modern chassis and suspension. Back when I rode a lot, I always lusted over a tagged Aprilia RS250. I've never tired of the two strokes, even though I know four strokes are all the rage now.

Full horizon to horizon. Sun peaking out on the left and the moon coming up on the right. The edges of building on each side are the same building.

Took me a few minutes to figure out what was happening. Pretty ballsy method vs just compressed water via pump.
