    Can't imagine why they only built 1.
    That twin steer might be tricky to master

    from memory i read somewhere it was a nightmare to ride due to the two wheel steer and also kept blowing hydraulic seals when braking. I think from memory it uses the hydraulics to power and also to stop the thing....BUT in saying that, it was ahead of its time and a true classic..

    If it uses hydraulics to power and to brake without an overrun it would be very choppy on and off the power, bit like the kubota 9000 or the bobcat toolcat is where you run at constant throttle but variable flow and the braking is none too subtle (which is not an issue at lower speeds)

    Don't know that the two wheel steer in itself is a headache, it is after all what occurs when you lean a bike is it not?

    Don't think so haha, but I've seen this one on Sandgate road a few times and it's just down the road from me, very good budget ride, if only the manufacturers would remake these with the improved hp, suspension and brake performance we have today
