Visiting from your future, the truly amazing Carver One You can’t have more fun on the road than in a CARVER
Isle of Man TT 2009, “Mad Sunday” is when the mountain race circuit is one way and all the lunatics go for a thrash. On my 2pm run I only got overtaken by 3 motorbikes and on my 3 pm run only 2 got past. What FUN.
Turbo charged, intercooled, 16 valve engine = FUN 45 degrees of lean round the bends = 1 g lateral acceleration = FUN Wide rear tyres that stay flat on the ground, all wheel steering = bike blitzing FUN

“I have to say absolute hand on heart I’ve never had so much fun in a car really and truthfully” “And I don’t think I’d ever get tired of it!”. This is from a man who claims to hate motorbikes
It's hard to put in words, really... Formula car 1 driver Jenson Button's smile when he put the Carver One to the test pretty much says it all, and if not, his final verdict does:- "... absolute madness… fantastic!" See Jensen Button’s ear to ear grin in the You Tube video by clicking here.
Cabin motorcycles for 365 days a year motorbiking, and even more fun than motorbiking (I really never thought I would say that)
The Carver provides a maximum tilting angle of 45° and a maximum tilting speed of 82° per second. This tilting speed figure is an important characteristic, as it describes the promptness of cornering, especially in a chicane or lane change situation. As a reference: on a conventional motorcycle, tilting speeds of this magnitude can only be achieved safely by highly experienced racing motorcycle riders. Anyone else would “high side” their bike
