Enter DiamondBack, a Hayabusa-powered leaning reverse trike prototype, now up for crowd funding on Kickstarter.
From the two videos its creator posted, the DiamondBack looks like awesome fun for both those enjoying the thrill of the sportscars and those who like to carve the twisties on two wheels.
The front suspension is designed by the creator of the DiamondBack, a guy with an aeronautics and suspensions engineering background. As far as these video show, this trike leans quite a lot through the turns, bringing in the sensations one gets from riding an actual motorcycle.
An F1 reclined seat accommodates the rider and a 5-point buckle keeps him in the seat, while a DOT approved roll cage makes sure the driver is safe in case the trike flips over. The Busa engine grants unrivaled power-to-weight ratio which is again, glorious fun.
Add in pneumatic-assisted sunroof, integrated smartphone docking and more features on the list, and the DiamondBack looks like a vehicle which could rival the X-Bow.
Head over to the DiamondBack Project Kickstarter page and help these fellows build this machine. If it makes it into production, we'd surely like to take it for a spin!
