Buy it in the color you wanted to be buried in.

Interesting. A very high networth white friend of mine has one. His wife won’t let him get a motorcycle.

Rent one in Gatlinburg? Yes.

Buy one? Never.

Driving on I-20 late last year, there was a group of three of these vehicles sharing the road with me. We were close to Dallas so we overtook each other several times because of traffic. Two of them had couple but the third had only a driver and was tricked out with a ton of speakers, blasting Super Bowl halftime music. It’s like he was the entertainment for the other two.

They seemed to be enjoying themselves so who am I to judge?

Do they just pick it up and bury you in it when you die in an accident?

If I’m going open cockpit on more than two wheels, I’m going Ariel Atom. Twice the price but worth it.

That is great for people who cannot operate a real motorcycle.
Pretend bikers...

Might as well just save money by getting a Can Am Spyder instead, or save a lot of money with a Can Am Ryker.

Rented one for a couple days off of Turo. Really enjoyed it. Don't think I'd buy one though.

Helluva trackday special, I have driven them a few times at VIR. That said they can be a PITA or impossible to register for road use in a lot of states.




Another vehicle for the OP to consider which IME is a thousand times cooler is a Cobra replica especially if they want something more brash than a MX-5 or Boxster. Just don't get an overpowered one, the short wheelbase and forward weight bias can make them a bear to handle and they are devoid of any safety nets.

Was just about to say the same thing. I think the volume starts at "quarter mile radius" level. There's a reason they included "audio" in the things that are next level. They know no one's buying if they can't get the music loud enough to garner people looking at them.

I've seen Atom's on the road in Los Angeles. Very cool looking.

They weigh 1600lbs. And the top of your head is lower than the window on a c7 vette.
