Trikes. Cycles trying to be cars? Or Cars trying to be cycles? Hmmm. Personally, i like the look of “some” trikes, but the majority of traditional trikes we’ve seen leave alot to be desired. That is until we saw the Cirbin V13R Trike. With its lines and proportions reminiscent of the Hot-Rod scene (oh, yeah!) but updated with today’s design cues, the V13R (powered by a 1.25-liter Harley-Davidson V-Rod displacing 1250cc) and a 5-speed sequential gearbox it will definitely turn heads. The dash features a Speedo, Tach, and Fuel Gauge, and the bike has Daytime Running Lamps, hi and low bean headlights, brake and reverse lights, and turn signals. Almost like Henry Fords Model “A”, (where consumers got whatever color they wanted as long as it was black), you get a choice of only three colors-red, black, and silver. Consumers can choose between powder-coated and chrome for the wheels and chassis. While the MSRP starts at $40k, expect to pay close to $50-$55k range once outfitted with the nicey-nicey stuff. While i’m still prone to a ride that puts me in a “bikers stance” i can’t help but think, this bike will get some good reception from alot of people.
