The R200 recumbent was abandoned by Trek and very few are left available I understand. Originally $1600, valleybikes.com cleared out 195 units in 2 weeks at $600. There are several messages and one news article on the R200 at:

This e-zine is an excellent resource to familiarize yourself with the many benefits and few drawbacks of riding recumbents. Try the "Message Board" and "Stop the Presses" links there.
BTW, not only will you never suffer from "numb hands and crotch syndrom" on a recumbent, but you won't waste your energy supporting a sore back, shoulders and neck either. All effort is focused on your legs while maintaining a full-time aerodynamic position (not just while straining in a racing tuck.) Does that make sense or what?
Give it a try - you'll see.
