Here is a 3-wheeler that is really cool. Definately no replacement for the V1, but a nice concept none the less!

"The Hawk is a concept motorbike designed in my spare time during study of Industrial Design. I set out to create a vehicle which gave the comfort of a passenger car, with the performance of a roadbike. The result is a hybrid between the two, the Hawk.
Powered by a Honda RC51 V-twin 999cc engine, with a redline of 10,000rpm, 120RWhp and a theoretical top speed of 233 kilometers per hour. Wearing three 19inch lightweight alloy wheels equiped with twin rear and front disc brakes, you wont have any problems stopping in a hurry. Fiberglass outer shell and alloy chassis give you the aerodynamics needed to acheive the level of performance you expect from a roadbike, with the comfort of a car. The interior is a combination of moulded plastic and leather trim, with digital dials giving you the vital information about your vehicle.
I just wish these guys would start putting all of these CONCEPTS into a REAL vehicle that is available to the public. I go to the Chicago Auto Show most every time it is at McCormick Place downtown, and I always see AWESOME concept vehicles. But these things never get built! Sure, they may (on occasion) take a concept vehicle and attempt to bring it to market, but by the time it reaches the market, it is indeed stripped of most everything that made it a unique concept to begin with. I am so happy that we are "involved" with a company (Venture Vehicles) that is going to actually BRING AN AWESOME VEHICLE TO THE MARKET. After all is said and done, this is what it's all about.
