Love your projects! I've been thinking about recumbent motorcycles myself lately. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

One thing I wonder about with your frame is that there seems to be no triangulation under the seat. Is the tube stiff enough? Won't it flex a lot? I don't know. I'm just asking.

Reminds me of the Quasar from the 1970's. I really fancied one of them.

Ill do some triangulated cross members under the seat and forward frame.

Curious, if this bike were sitting on the pavement today, and had a top speed of 100mph with a 200 mile range, what would it fetch?

Well, I know, It would fetch a couple of big speeding tickets for me
