- January 02, 2014, 12:29:39 PMThat seems like a strange way to define a motorcycle (Type 2) According to the strictest interpretation, then, this "vehicle" (I'd call it a car) that weighs in at 1367 lbs, would be a class 2 motorcycle? Seems odd indeed...

Type 2 Motorcycle
A Type 2 motorcycle is:
A motor vehicle designed and built to have at least three wheels in
contact with the ground with a curb weight less than 1,500 lbs. and,
A passenger and operator area with sides permanently enclosed
with rigid construction and a top which may be convertible.
Examples of Type 2 vehicles are motorized golf carts, Postal
Department mailsters, etc.

- January 02, 2014, 12:24:34 PMI hadn't read the new version for a while...Yes, a Spyder is a type 1....the others are type 2. This all started when H-D (who else?) bought a company that built a 3 wheel cycle car with a Citroen engine in the front...the Tri-Hawk, and they discovered they were on questionable legal ground about vehicle type. H-D bought the company and closed it down....again, is this a surprise?

That's how much "Class" the m/c has... 
See, it's a 1-10 scale - With the DRIFTER being at "11". I think Harley's come in at the 5-7 range, and the Vaquero is a strong 9...
