One of these vehicles is the Talon Motors Invader, which uses two steering front wheels and a rear drive wheel. The creation is powered by a 1.3 liter Suzuki Hayabusa engine that works together with a six-speed sequential transmission. The unit manages to push the three-wheeler past the 60 mph mark in under four seconds and offers it a top speed of 150 mph (241 km/h).
The creation uses a tubular steel frame, with a front crash zone, triangulated side protection bars and a complete roll-cage around the passenger cell. This is wrapped in a fiberglass body with a Lexan windshield.
To keep things under control, the vehicle comes with a fully adjustable suspension and a braking system that uses four piston calipers
"The Invader really offers its owner the best of two worlds," said Tom Sliger, Talon Motors vice president and creator of the Invader. "It delivers the power and road hugging closeness and thrills of a super bike, but allows its two occupants to sit side-by-side in the safety and comfort of an enclosed cockpit. It has a steering wheel and pedals just like a sports car, but it offers a totally unique driving experience that is unlike anything on the road."
The Invader has a starting price of $42,900 and the company is also preparing a limited edition version for next year. This is being developed together with rock and roll legend Sammy Hagar, using the “Red Rocker” name.
