An new machine from RZT Automotive (complete with a really crappy vector badge).  Note to self:  Make concept art (not even complete) and badge before making the model.

Quadador is a concept Motorcycle similar to the Dodge Tomahawk.  Like the hawk, it has four wheels, uses chains for the final drive, has a three arm linkage on the front, is moved by a big engine and both are about the same size.  But that is where the two stop comparing and start contrasting.  For starters, it is made not just to be ridden but to be done so on public roads and if can not be done so legally as is, it should not take much to make it legal.  This means it has a lot more lights than the Tomahawk and a windscreen to comply with regs.  There is a harness to hold the rider on just in case the screen is not enough.  There is no instrument panel.  Rather a HUD on the windscreen is used because I found from experience that standard panels are just too far away from the "driving area" to be useful.  The engine is in essence, two Wankel Rotatory engines from Mazda RX-8's on a common shaft with two turbochargers, so it should be in the range as a Tomahawk for power.  The transmission is a 3-speed sequential with a diff to better preserve the tires.  The ground clearance is also greater so getting stuck on a speed bump is a lot less likely.

The model and the city landscape looks amazing, but could you improve the Handlebar a little bit, like making it longer... because this part of the motorcycle looks somehow unfinished... but except this detail, good job  :thumbsup:

Even at that scale it is hard to make a handlebar that has much detail, espsailly since the controls are a tad non-standard. By the way, that door you see in the landscape does open.
