They are not motorcycles, but they are kind of cool none the less.
Tell that to the bmv...
They wear motorcycle tags, and are considered as a 3 wheel mc here in Ohio..to be clear.
Yesterday on the way to work on my C14 I rolled up alongside of one decked out to the max, and the rider was a 30 yr old woman.... I got a chance to look it and her, over pretty well before rolling on. Not a bad ride.
My tendency is more towards T-Rex tho when I have to give up on 2 wheels... I am currently going thru negotiations with a fellow ADV Rider for a complete C14 engine,electronics and running gear to begin fabbing into my own t-rex version nekid trike. Been wanting to do this since the 14 came out...
As for performance, I was PASSED by a Rex on Wolfpen Gap rd in Georgia while riding 2 up and loaded down for the RWTW and I'll tell you he was moving out fast and stable... I could not stay up with him thru the turns, but could read his plate in the straightaways...
