Sub G1 – il triciclo per grandi

SUB G1
An ultra dynamic motorcycle
concept, combining motorcycle
engine technology, in a single
seat driving experience.

”A truly visceral thrill “

Che dire di questo coso?

Potrebbe essere una figata pazzesca da guidare oppure un incubo: 3 ruote, seduta da auto da corsa, niente retromarcia, 996cc e 135hp non sono male, ma per il resto… boh.

Esteticamente poi sono ancora molto combattuto, ci devo pensare.

Qui la gallery completa.
