Default S2K against T-REX

I don't know if the T-REX is imported in U.S. but the point is that for the price, it is the closest thing of a race car !
I had the chance of driving it, and it's like an S2K but with a more aggressive response of the steering and a little more power ( Because it is lighter )
The handling of this thing is fantastic, the smallest move you make with the steering is answered by a light speed reaction of this street legal ground sucker.

I remember when these first came out, they were selling for around $25,000. and I seem to recall this was Canadian. $39,000. US is quite a large jump. That's a lot of money for what is basically a 3 wheel motorcycle with a GSX-R engine in it. (Or are they selling them cheaper if the buyer is in Canada?)

the original was cheap in the 20K(USD) range, they did a revision and the CURRENT price basically doubled.

i agee it is overpriced....if still in 20,ooo.00 range they would be very popular. i'm not fond of the raptor looking snout and headlight/mirrors.

i did recently see a Formula ford front grafted to GSX rear with original paint scheme for sale, it was much longer but totally cool, or totally weird...a little of both.

Here is a picture of the one i had for a beautiful day !!!


Here in Montreal it is a lot of money for a toy that you can use only 6 or7 months per year, but for some of you lucky guys it's another history !!!

No, your eyes do not deceive you, those ARE TWO (yes, 2) Kawasaki ZX12 engines...

0-60 in 2.8s, and to 100 in 6.3s

The UK mags don't seem to like those dual engined tigers. Not sure how they get the two of them in sync exactly.

I would still be happy with a S2000 powered Super 7 weighing 1100lbs like the WCM ultralight.... Just need to find the $30k to get one.

Trex---- ING UGLY - i wouldn't ever want one of those!
