mike962 ◊ 2025-06-12 18:38	1985 Kayak Land Speeder based on 1983 Honda FT500 Quote Per the seller, the Kayak Land Speeder “is a prototype vehicle built by gifted automotive designer Mark Murphy with a grant from the National Endowment For The Arts to “Design and Build a Minimum Vehicle Project that incorporates the efficiency of a motorcycle based power plant with the safety and convenience of a stable 3 wheel chassis”. Created in 1985, the original grant paperwork will also be included with the vehicle https://www.bike-urious.com/tv-star-1983-honda-ft500-ascot-trike/ -- Last edit: 2025-06-12 18:42:53

CougarTim ◊ 2025-06-13 01:28	Strange, that one article seems to be the Kayak's sole online presence up 'til now. Mark Murphy went on to produce the fully-electric BugE kit: https://newatlas.com/buge-electric-vehicle-kit/17067/

antp ◊ 2025-06-14 20:15	If so I'd rather list it as "1983 Honda FT500 as Kayak Land Speeder"
Baube ◊ 2025-06-14 20:31	with a name like Kayak , i hope this thing is an amphibious vehicle..
Gamer ◊ 2025-06-14 21:50	"Kayak Landspeeder" so it can hover over water and float on it as well!
