Banks Twin-Turbo Trike

[lambdalady]

definitely need more pics/vids of this trike... i'd like to see the way it cruises...

[bankspowerinsider]

@lambdalady If you go to the webpage mentioned in the video's description, you'll see five photos of the trike plus the story behind it. As for videos of it on the street ... we'll have to dig up the tape and see what we shot ... we'll post it if we find anything cool. Thanks for watching!

[lambdalady]

@bankspowerinsider i've seen the pics and the story behind it...i want to see video of it on the road!!!

[lambdalady]

@lambdalady i completely agree...the only video footage of any trikes on the road is at las vegas trikes myspace page...

what is the power to weight ratio? mmmm never mind.... this impossible to drive vehicle is just a toy for a boy that needs testosterone to be supplied by big engines noise... I'll stick to my 600cc bike... Is fun to hear this monster runnin thogh!

[bankspowerinsider]

@rodriguezjoaquin Info from one of our engineers who worked on this project: "It’s 800HP at about a 1500 lb curb weight, so about 1.9 lb / HP. It’s not as fast as my turbo’d Hayabusa, though, which is only 1.7 lb / HP (315 HP / 530 lb), so it’s not really the scariest thing I’ve been on. It certainly has a lot more tire, though."

[rodriguezjoaquin]

@bankspowerinsider Yeah, and that tire will certainly make you feel the thrill of the fast turns... like any other 600-1000 cc. bike. Is a big monster. The scary thing about this beauty must be it's price... nice power-to-budget ratio there too. But... wut the hell, I'm probably the only one who cares. I like engines, don't get me wrong.

Now do a Boss Hoss.

[johnwygant]

this chassis would have trouble making use of 400hp...with 800 its even more outlndish.

I build outlandish vehicles as well, but they actually make sense.

[DukTruck]

You must try to find a way to put something BIGGER in something SMALLER! come on make daddy proud!

[LasVegasTrikes]

Thanks alot to all the Guys at Banks. It was a blast being down there. We love the motor you built us. Matt you are truly a wizard on the dyno.

[seroyer2]

oh man trike's are lame even if it does make 800HP. next time I am in Las Vegas I will probably see this thing.
