      Unique? Piece of junk? A deal at $400? It's gotta be way underpowered with that XS400 if it even runs.

        For sure! I had a XS400 and a stock VW beetle has way more power. Talk about a slug. Zero to 60 in about 15 minutes. LOL

              He says it will turn heads. Ya, turn heads all right... Like turn my head to the right in order to not vomit on myself. Who knows, maybe its this very same contraption that inspired the CAN-AM Spyder?

                      It is, at least, the right way around for a trike, though I've always preferred front-wheel drive packages.

                        Looks like '80's Z28 wheels. And yes, they need a few more than two lug nuts to secure them. I always used five on my '82 Z.

                          I have a couple of those front wheels, came off a regular 80's Camaro with a 305 in it.

                            Yeah, but that "thing" probably weighs less than 40% of what your Z28 did, so it should get along just fine with 40% of the lug nuts.

                              It's probably one of those carefully engineered balance aspects, so the vehicle remains stable up above 180 m.p.h.

                                Does this taste funny?

                                Says that it is a 79GS750E, but I say it is clearly a 79GS750L. I inquired about it, and the seller says that the GS750E-705621 VIN on the title matches the VIN on the frame, so.... ??? Umm, maybe that's not funny as in 'Ha-Ha', but funny as in "Does this taste funny to you?". Hehe...





                                Looks like it could potentially be a deal though. I've decided it is too far for me to drive, especially with some funny going on. Maybe someone else might be interested.
