Default 3 Wheelers

The UK had the Reliant Robin with an inline 4 potter from 748cc to 848cc

Over the pond you could get a V8 Hercules motor fitted

That's cheating, it's got two wheels at the front! Man up and get the V8 Robin with only one wheel at the front!!!!

my uncle built a V8 powered robin( featured in street machine magzine) in the late 80s that he run at the delboy derby and won at santa pod.

best thing i saw him do with it was beat a RS500 with it, and really miffed the guy off lol
