> [@Carnut](#): > > How does this handle? Is it stable? Im intrigued The entire concept was designed by Daniel Campanga who was mechanic to Formula 1 legend, Gilles Villeneuve. Handles like it’s on rails… it can get fishy if you free up the rear tire, but what car doesn’t? Coil over suspension is adjustable. It’s very comfortable, I thought it was going to be rough and bone jarring. Fifth Gear did a special on this… with the smaller Kawasaki 1200cc Motor. In 2007 they were equiped with the larger 1400r (1352cc) Motor. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38TFetQAe2o) ---

^ actual size specs are listed on the first page. this is strictly a “No Fat Chicks” vehicle. The seats are fixed, but the back is adjustable. The pedal assembly is adjustable as well, to account for long/short legs. Getting in the thing is a process in itself and requires a game plan. But it is fun to watch people attempt it for the first time. To get an idea of the size… some people pics: The only way 2 guys can ride the same bike and have it NOT be gay. ![http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/trex_01.JPG](http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/trex_01.JPG) I’m 5’11" and about 220lbs and feel fairly comfortable. It would be a bit cramped for anybody over 6’2" or over 240lbs i’d say. ![http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/trex_02.JPG](http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/trex_02.JPG) ![http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/trex_03.JPG](http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/trex_03.JPG) ---

so how does that trans shift from 1-2… do you just push the clutch in, and pull back? what stops it from jumping 2 or 3 gears? ---

sequential dog tooth engagement, you should be able to just rip through the gears no clutch needed except for down shifting ---
