I thought the same thing. probably cost more to remove from the website than answer phone calls/emails and say "not avail"  Shocked

I saw several Hannigan "Quads" and a few Thourobred Stallions at this years Daytona Bike Week.
I consider both to not be motorcycles, rather alternataive automobiles. JMHO

Once one stops leaning the bike by putting on the third wheel, what difference does the fourth, fifth or sixth wheel make.  Your still out there in the environment.  It's still a motorcycle and a convertible is still a cage...

For a short period of time I had a used Miata. I also had a Valk rig.

There is no way in He$$ that I would pay 28 grand for a three or four wheel motorcycle.  I can buy a new Miata for that price and the roof doesn't leak.

The Miata is every bit as much fun as a three wheeler (for me).  i drove it down to Johnson City and drove with the Valks.  Great fun but just couldn't keep up in the long straights, it handled as well or better than any motorcycle in the curves AND, with the top down, i was still in the wind.

For those that don't know me, i've been riding off and om since 1947 and I'm presently riding a Vstrom.
To me, if it doesn't bank in the curves, a motorcycle loses most of its fun factor.
