Campagna Motors' new T-REX 16S is powered by a BMW 1649 cc in-line 6-cylinder engineCampagna Motors’ family of side-by-side reverse trikes has a new addition. Joining the street legal T-REX 14 R, T-REX 14RR and V13R is the T-REX-16S. While the existing T-REX models are powered by a Kawasaki 1400 cc inline cylinder engine and the V13R gets its grunt from a Harley Davidson Liquid-cooled Revolution 60-degree V-Twin engine (the same used in the Harley Davidson V-Rod), the new 16S is powered by a BMW 1649 cc in-line 6-cylinder engine from BMW’s Motorrad division.The BMW engine comes courtesy of a long-term strategic agreement the Quebec-based company recently signed with the BMW Group to supply motorcycle engines for its vehicles. The engine generates 160 hp at 7,750 rpm and 129 lb-ft of torque at 5,250 rpm, with the power directed via a six-speed sequential transmission to the chain-driven rear wheel.As well as supplying the engine, BMW engineers also collaborated with Campagna on integrating the new engine and the transmission, new electronic systems and other components.
As a result, the 16S boasts an advanced electric driving mode selector to adjust the grip to suit the driving conditions.The dimensions of the 16S are identical to the other T-REX models, with a 2,286 mm (90 in) wheelbase, a total length of 3,500 mm (138 in), width of 1,981 mm (78 in) and height of 1,067 mm (42 in). It’s also hard to find many differences in the styling of the fiberglass body shell between the 16S and its T-REX brethren.From the marine-grade waterproof seats, the driver and passenger can access the 180 W RMS Alpine audio system that includes iPod/iPhone/USB and Bluetooth connectivity, and Sirius Satellite Radio. Campagna has even found room for an open glove compartment recessed in the dash, while removable and lockable side-cases provide 46 liters (12 US gal) of cargo capacity on each side of the vehicle, with additional cargo space under the hood.Like Campagna’s other vehicles, the 16S is street legal to drive in most places in North America and in Japan, along with some other parts of the world.

dirt bikes for sale on gumtreeSo this week we found something new for him to try, and whatever you do, don’t call it a trike.
used motorcycle helmet ottawa Our objective today is to find out what happens when you take one of the fastest sport bikes on the street, get rid of just about everything except for the powertrain, and wrap it in a go-kart-like tube chassis.
Well, you get something like this, the Campagna T-Rex 14R. There are not many vehicles out there that are truly unique, but the Kawasaki-based T-Rex certainly is and that makes me happy. It’s hard to believe this thing is actually street legal, and despite its transformation from motorcycle to something resembling a car, it is actually still titled as a motorcycle. Which means here in our home state of Maryland you need a motorcycle license and a helmet to pilot the T-Rex on public roads; although laws do vary by state. But, the first obstacle you must tackle is just getting in, as much like shoe-horning into a Lotus Exige, it is a learned art. Fortunately, the steering wheel is removable to aid in the process. Once you’ve mastered that, everything else is easy, as the T-Rex has a no frills interior. You get a steering wheel, a pair of waterproof seats, adjustable pedals, and a shifter for the sequential manual transmission. That’s about it except for reverse and a parking brake.
Gauges and switchgear come straight from the Kawasaki, as does the engine. It’s a 1352cc inline-4 that spins up 197-horsepower and 113 lb-ft. of torque and is buried underneath a bunch of unique looking fiberglass body work that includes a full network of air intakes to keep the monster motor happy. A pair of 16-inch front wheels are set very wide for a 78-inch overall width and are wrapped in tire hugging fenders. The pointy front end features high mounted headlights, a small wind screen, and blends nicely into the roll bars that surround the passenger compartment. Things really get interesting from the rear however, where you get a nice look at the fat, foot-wide, single rear tire, dual Kawasaki exhaust, and monstrous looking bodywork. As for storage, removable Givi sidecases come standard. Driving, or riding to use the proper motorcycle term, is truly a one-of-a-kind experience as you’ve only got that 12-inches of rubber in back, applying 200-horsepower to the road.
Combine that with a super willing throttle and close-to-immediate steering, and it’s truly a both hands on the wheel affair. Suspension is obviously a custom setup with unequal length triangular arms up front, and dual shocks on the swingarm in back. Ride quality is surprisingly not harsh, but you do seriously hug the road. Also keep in mind, with three wide wheels, if there’s something in the road, chances are good that you’ll hit it with one of them. Willwood brake discs and calipers occupy all three wheels. Feel is excellent, but they weren’t quite up to the task of hauling this thing down as quickly as I would have liked. Weight comes in just over 1,000 pounds. The overall build quality is quite good, with no exposed wiring or gaping panel gaps to be found. While we’re still not sure whether the 2012 Campagna T-Rex 14R is more “car” or more “bike”, two things we are sure of: it’s not a trike and it’s expensive. Base price is a whopping $58,349. That’s almost 10-grand over a Porsche Boxster.
