Grinnall R3T Trike
If two or four wheeled transportation isn’t your sort of thing - what about three wheels. Well that’s what this uber cool Grinnall R3T trike can offer.
This beast of a vehicle retails for a cool £25,000 ($50,000) and is powered by a 150 bhp, 2.3 litre Rocket Three engine - the largest power plant fitted to any production motorcycle.
Grinnall say:
“With around 150bhp and 150lbs/ft of shoulder wrenching torque, this trike has more power than most cars, and about one third of the weight. 80mm longer than the BMW 1200C trike, the R3T uses the comfortable front seat also for the pillion. If demand is sufficient we have designed the machine to accommodate three passengers using a unique ‘pannier’ seating arrangement either side of the pillion seat.
Under the seats is around 35litres of carrying space, as well as approximately 45litres in the ‘boot’, at the rear of the machine. This space is accessed by hinging down to reveal the opening in the top of the box (in production the catch will not be visible).
A chrome grab handle will be fitted to support the underside of the pillion seat, and curve up behind the pillion passenger to offer full support. A back rest and luggage rack will follow shortly. A full height screen will also be available later in the year. New, stiffer billet yokes enable light steering and ensure the machine doesn’t feel heavy.”
What a beast!!!
