Modern Vespa

Just for fun I sat in The Stallion...About 3 have been sold here..

I thought I'd show you guys pics....Don't think I'm trading in my beautiful beasty baby....I just had a quicky with The Stallion....It's not love.

It's registered as a motorcycle and you have to have a motorcycle license, because of the three wheels....

cheers....jacq

I think something like that would be awesome with a full top. It's already given up most of what would make it a motorcycle IMO.

Looks cool - what do those things go for?

I would so use something like that for a commuter if it had a full top! I wonder how much they are?

Looks like a backwards Corbin Merlin Roadster.

It doesn't look like a bad machine, but that price! For that amount you can get a barely-used Prius that gets better gas mileage. The only advantage I see of this over a cage is that it's just slightly more open and a little smaller. Not worth it, in my opinion, unless you really want a convertible but also want good mileage.

They have used one at their factory in Troup that cost as little as $14,000.
So....there you go...

All that effort for 35/45 mpg. What a shame.

+1 ExACTLY..yikes...My Toyota Rav4 almost gets thats...

There is one in the Gold Wing club I ride with at times. Seems to me he paid about $40,000. It has A/C. He said the mileage was no where near advertised but "they were working on it". Powerful ride, different too.

Well the black one could be tricked out to be the batmobile without much effort. What part of that is a motorcycle? I mean it looks way cool but the price is kinda high.

While riding my scoot to work today I saw somebody driving a Corbin Sparrow going the other way. First one I've seen on the road.

A/C?? That I don't get... WHY??

For heat. I know what you're asking...just being smart. Many larger vehicles with big fairings, such as Goldwings and this thing create a large 'bubble' when attaining highways speeds. This bubble is MUCH MUCH MORE refined and larger than anything we get on the mp3 because of design and size of the fairing/windscreen. Ever notice how all touring bikes have pretty much the same front? Now you know why. This bubble allows for you to run A/C, Heat, and even radio without headphones, all to some degree of 'success' so that you can feel them, and hear them. It's not the same as being in a car, mind you, but it's a lot better than most people give it credit for. I often hear people who don't know this look at large, expensive touring bikes and turn to their wives and say, "Hey look, honey. This idiot has Air Condition(or a Radio or Heat or a CD player, etc)." Anyways, hope that clears that up for ya.

A/C has been a very popular option on drop-tops for years.

I thought it was really cool, sharp and fantastic until I saw the price!

That's way too much. My R32 was $32k and would be much more fun AND serviceable.

I thought it was awesome, until I saw how much they are asking for it! Geesh..... even the used one is only slightly less than I paid for my gently used Jeep Grand Cherokee that is a 2007 still under warranty! Well.... if it was new around $15k, then maybe.... but over $30k? NO WAY!

It does look cool. I would like to drive one. I think it is the "Jetson's" vehicle riding on the ground! I am still awaiting my flying car! lol

You might have to wait a while for a flying car; but check this link for a "roadable aircraft". http://www.popsci.com/military-aviation-amp-space/article/2008-10/flying-car-gets-real

Hmmm...$30k. So for that price I would be looking at the 300mpg plug-in hybrid Aptera http://www.aptera.com/ask.php

Looks cooler, better seating, storage, roof,.

I mean the comparison between the two is just ridiculous. The Stallion is going to have to drop the price to be anything but laughable.

Never heard of this here Stallion (other than the ones I own... kidding). OMG...that thing is huge! Jacq you could tow your RAV with this 3-legg-ed-machine! You look proud, like you just won the thing..............!! R U not telling us? Must've felt like the caddy of trikes....right? Room for the family (oh no....not the family!) It's pricey 2......lotsa de casha! IMO...Toooo BIG/All body. HOWEVER......IF you gave it to me.........................(I'd love you) ...."SWEET MACHINE!" Other than that, the trike for me would be (the one I test drove: the fully automatic with reverse gear "Ridley trike" (and @ 1/2 the price).

I think I rode something like THE STALLION when I was about 6 years old at 6 Flags over Texas...hmmm....Sky...you should check the kiddy park at Disney World.

cheers...jacq

OMG.....that's where I saw it! Mickey was telling Minnie to get in and Pluto kept blocking the way cause HE wanted in! Mickey jumped out, Minnie kicked Pluto in the shin and whilst all the hub-bub was going on.....Donald jumped in and drove off. was I impressed! Not with Donald silly, with the STALLION! 8)
