Q: WOW!!! What is that sleek, sexy, powerful
machine?!!
A: The SportCycle is a pre-assembled kit that
can be attached to any donor motorcycle stop loss. Just remove
your motorcycle�s front fork then bolt the
motorcycle to the SportCycle. Attach the SportCycle
levers and hoses to the motorcycle�s clutch, rear
break, throttle and shift controls, connect the
wiring harness, and it�s ready to drive! All
motorcycle functions are controlled via the driver�s
cockpit and are similar to Formula 1 and CART
racecars. The SportCycle patent pending design
features and efficient construction help keep the
overall weight of the combined vehicle to a minimum.
This results in incredible acceleration and
spectacular handling that will trounce some the most
powerful performance sports cars on the market. In
other words�it screams!
Q: Is the SportCycle street legal?
A: Although current federal highway laws
treat three-wheel vehicles as motorcycles, rules and
regulations governing a hybrid take profit vehicle such as the
SportCycle may vary state to state. Consult the
Internet or your local government for a complete
description of your state�s requirements.
Q: Will my existing motorcycle insurance remain
in force when I attach the SportCycle kit?
A: Although the SportCycle is classified as a
motorcycle, some motorcycle insurance underwriters
may elect not to continue to insure a motorcycle
with a major modification such as attaching the
SportCycle kit. Check with your underwriter before
making the modification to determine the limitations
and restrictions of your policy.
Q: Will I damage my motorcycle in the process of
attaching/detaching the SportCycle kit?
A: The goal of the SportCycle kit long term trading is to deliver
the ultimate in performance and handling while at
the same time provide a simple assembly and impart
minimal damage to the motorcycle and its components.
To reduce cost and avoid mismatched components, the
cockpit utilizes the motorcycle�s existing gauges
and controls (i.e. speedometer, tachometer, fuel
gauge, light switches, turn signals, key ignition,
horn, kill switch, and choke.). Under most
circumstances, the electrical wire harnesses must be
cut and spliced onto an extension harness that
connects to the transferred motorcycle gauges and
controls inside the cockpit. Such splicing may void
a portion of the motorcycle�s warranty. Some
motorcycles may require other minor or major
modifications or relief in order to attach the
SportCycle kit. Additionally, it is recommended that
a passenger car tire with a wider tread replace the
standard rear motorcycle tire in order to improve
lateral traction and reduce fishtailing at high
speed. A wider tread tire may require some
modification to the chain guard or other frame
components in order to provide sufficient tire
clearance.
Q: Can any motorcycle be turned into an
SportCycle?
A: The SportCycle kit has been designed with a
large opening in the rear to handle most
motorcycles. Our prototypes are attached to late
model **Kawasaki ZRX 1100�s, but almost any
motorcycle will do. If you are looking for the
ultimate in performance from the SportCycle kit,
start with a powerful donor motorcycle. Our website
contains the important specifications and dimensions
of the SportCycle kit. If you are still unsure about
a custom fit, please contact us.
Q: Does the SportCycle have reverse?
A: The SportCycle kit contains no equipment or
components to provide reverse, although we are
currently developing several configurations, which
may be available in the future.
Q: Should I allow a passenger sit on the rear
saddle while the vehicle is in motion?
A: No, the SportCycle is intended to be driven
only by a single occupant in the cockpit. A typical
motorcycle leans into a turn and the operator and
passenger are forced downward into the motorcycle�s
saddle. Three wheelers, such as the SportCycle, do
not lean into a turn. Therefore, because of high
lateral G-forces, a passenger sitting on the saddle
would have difficulty holding on and could be thrown
from the vehicle causing serious injury or death. In
addition, the superb handling of the SportCycle is
attained by a very low center of gravity. A
passenger on the saddle would upset the balance of
the vehicle.
Q: Is the SportCycle safe?
A: The SportCycle is classified as a motorcycle.
It is not required to meet the safety standards of a
typical motor vehicle. It has no airbags, no
bumpers, and sits pretty low to the ground. It is
extremely lightweight and offers little protection
to the occupant in the event of an accident.
Q: Will my wife allow me to buy and drive a
machine with such awesome performance?
A: Maybe, not. After all, once you experience
the raw power and superb handling of the SportCycle,
you may begin to neglect your duties at home in
order to spend your weekends wandering around town
searching for unsuspecting lightweights such as
Corvettes, Porsches and Ferrari�s.
Q: Is the SportCycle really as much fun as it
looks?
A: It's more fun than it looks..
Q: How do I purchase an SportCycle kit?
A: E-mail us at
sales@indycycleonline.com.
You must be at least 18 years old. It is recommended
that you are mechanically proficient and/or have
access to someone who is mechanically proficient
when assembling the SportCycle kit.

SportCycle to the ZRX 1100 or any other motorcycle
has not authorized or recommended by Kawasaki or any
other motorcycle manufacturer. The purchaser and/or
