Description:
The Corbin Motors Merlin Roadster.
*parks and insures as a motorcycle
*powered by 88-ci Harley-Davidson engine with four-speed manual transmission
*75 HP, 74 lb-ft. (est.)
*power-to-weight ratio similar to that of a Corvette
*35 mpg.
*$23,900
Now, I may be a little crazy, but I kind of like this. It IS FWD, but I guess with only a single rear wheel, it may be better that way. |

I can't provide verification of most of those statistics, since unfortunately Corbin Motors is locked in a legal battle right now or someshit, and the Merlin Roadster will probably never enter full production. Also, I'm pretty sure I like it because I'm much too wussy to drive a motorcycle, but..hey..nonetheless an interesting development.
This company also made a REALLY tiny electric car called the Sparrow, but, eh...cars need gas. |

there are other kit vehicles out there like this, but I don't know if they are street legal or not. One was called the IndyCycle, which was just the rear half of a crotchrocket bolted to the front of what appeared to be a Formula One race car. Pretty insanely fast, though of course not near as fast as the donor motorcycle. Claimed 0-60 in about four seconds, it's in some old Car And Driver around here somewhere... |
