Why? They're rare. Best pics you can find will be a few months back from the recumbent blog.

A friend of mine owns one. What do you need a picture of? BTW, they are not being sold any more.

My buddies is fairly heavy and somewhat twitchy to ride. The finish is pretty nice.

Ok. Did not know they were not being sold. I just wanted to see one up close. I am in the market for a recumbent and there is so much to chose from. I need to drive 1000 miles to a shop that stocks all the different types and spend a day or two trying different ones.

It can be touhg, for sure. If you're looking for a lowracer, I can help you narrow the field. Plenty of great ones to choose from: baron, vk2, and several flavors of M5 and challenge.
