    80's 3 wheeled scooter thing (yamaha or honda?)

    Anyone remember these?

    there is one at the track once in a while, and I saw one on craigslist not long ago... I think honda or yamaha made it, just trying to find a picture of one.

    Thanks!

    Honda Gyro for some reason springs to mind?

    Edit: Yup, I think that's it...

    That thing is pretty bad-ass, but I like the canopy for the rain. Can I get that one with bulletproof glass and a (paintball?) gun turret?

    After Meg insulted me for my desire to have shotguns mounted in the foglight locations on my denali, I decided to go the paintball gun route (I forget who I came up with that idea with - prob somebody from here)

    Craigslist had one for sale about a week ago in NH.
    Made by Honda and Youtube has video of the race series.

    I keep seeing a 3 wheel thing that looks like a scooter but has 2 wheels in the front. I'm not talking about a Can-Am Spider, the two wheels in the front are very close together and kind of shift when taking corners.

    I drove one of those MP3's. The braking is ridiculous on them. Stable as a rock under super hard braking. My grandmother could nose wheely one.
