Is anyone else interested in building an enclosed FWD Reverse Trike?

Goal: To be able to ride year round even in winter and get 80+ MPG

Build would be powdered by a small Suzuki 3 cylinder or possible 2 cylinder diesel or electric with side by side seating not the tandem design like the Elio.

Design considerations weight less than 1,200 lbs, would like aluminum chasis, and extremely aerodynamic.

It would be in 3 parts.

1. Drive / power train gas, electric, diesel (fully modular and switchable)
2. Cabin where passengers sit
3. Tail section (streamliner, flat bed, extra passengers, cargo van etc...)

Lastly it would be classified as a motorcycle.

I think that is enough to get the ball rolling.
