Anybody here ridden/own one of these bad boys?? It seems difficult to find any info/reviews on this trike--if it's even available.

I have a GTX which is similar, but more useful than an SLR. I can tell you that the SLR is really meant to be a hi speed road racer. The longer wheelbase makes for a more stable ride at hi speeds. My GTX can get squirrely above 40 mph. My GTT can handle 50+ very easily because of the extreme wheelbase.
As for availability, I'm sure Ian and the gang will make you one anytime you're ready. I wouldn't recommend an SLR as a first trike or even a second trike as they ARE intended to get from point A to point B as FAST as possible with little or no cargo.
Your header says you are up in SF, so if you get a hanckering to try my GS's, come on down to Monterey.
Also, the Interbike show is in Vegas on Sept. 26-29 where I'm sure Greenspeed will have some demos available to try. Maybe even an SLR.
Also, you might try inquiring at the Yahoo group; "Greenspeed trike owners" and see what thet have to say.
Good luck with that,
Dr. D

Ive ridden one. They're great! Drivetrian is very efficent and altough the track is very short, the thing handles like its on rails. I never even got on two wheels in the 20 minutes Id ridden it. Unless you're using it for racing, the height is a little too low. My head would sit level with someones knee, in a standing position. Its just a little to impractable IMO. But still so much fun and so fast. Your decision!
