I came across this today. Amazing to see going round the roundabout ahead. I've always wanted one ever since top gear tested them in 2003. But at £50K as they were latterly sold? :eek:

I understand Carver have gone bust now because so few people bought one at that price - Shame really as I would have been very tempted for around the £15k mark.

Has it got brushes at the front ?
 
In case you missed it on top gear.

For that money, I'd have a custom trike.

Ditto - especially after I followed one on the Furka Pass a few years ago and couldn't get near the thing on my 1300 Pan :eek:
 
I took a picture of one of those recently too in Frankfurt, I was suprised to see it as it had been 2 years since I was last over. I've been there a number of times over the past 4 years and it's always parked in the same place near Messe Frankfurt.

Didn't realise they were that expensive.

Will post some pics later...
 
I'd never come across one of those before!:o
It's a bit like opening one of those free gadget catalogues that fall out the papers and seeing stuff you never knew you needed....or wanted:doh:
 
I think it looks great, all the fun of a motorcycle but in winter I would stay warm and dry.
 
Here's the Carver I saw in Frankfurt:

Nice. But the reg mark is easily readable in the reflection. Hamster said it cost £22,500.

I saw a white 2-wheeled covered motorbike today on the M11.

Had some old feller riding it.

What drew my attention was the way it was wobbling from side on side. At first I thought it was deliberate but when I passed I realised he was just a bit wobbly!
