First reaction is GASP! Horror! Second reaction is OMG! Then you start looking at it in more detail, and you go... Hmmmm. Not bad actually.

The object is a converted Kawasaki ZR1100 motorcycle. The owner converted it into a trike. On its own, it's a life choice, and many people love riding trikes. But most trikes look alike, which is what I think the owner of this one wanted to avoid.

So instead of building a trike and placing the Kawa engine in it, he built the trike around the Kawasaki. And he gave it a Formula One Ferrari shape.

So from the front you've got a F1 car, and from the back, you've got a bastard child of a car and a motorcycle.

Lots of details though. Have a look at the cockpit:

The owner put it up for auction on eBay.

If you want it, you're going to have to fork out some US$ 15,000. But.... it's not bad looking. If you're going to go for a trike....
