Hey, your right, I did not enlarge it. It was actually a front view. Does
not say much for its looks : )

Just saw a video of a MC vs an ATV and they were equal over grass.

having narrower tires this vehicle should be faster. Does not say if it is
street legal but I have seen ATV's that are.

I don't understand what the point of the "fender" on the back of the
seat is... Keep grease from the chain from staining the ass crack of
your pants?!

Isn't the whole point of trials riding the balance? Doesn't this kind
of defeat that completely?!?!

regardless of who was or wasn't being sarcastic... it's described as a
"trials" quad...

i could understand the point of a quad dirt bike, but why make it
specifically a trials bike?

it's like making a 3 legged pogo stick! no good as stilts and defeats
the point of a pogo stick... just pointless all together in my
opinion.

+1 four wheels disqualify it as a motorcycle.

it isn't a motorcycle..,it 's either a weird quad <spits> or a naked
car. Looks as ugly as home made trailer park sin to me either way.
