Leafanistan's state owned Sung Military Industrial Concern proudly presents the newest in a long line of military motorcycles. The AVMC-05 Sceptre Quadracycle. Using 4 electronically stabilized wheels the Quadracycle offers high on-road, off-road speeds while being relatively stable compared to other military motorcycles. And unlike many other military motorcycles this comes with internal weapons systems and countermeasure systems.

Using a powerful new miniturized aircraft engine this Quadracycle can reach upwards of 55 mph on road and off road 35 mph. It has a quick-firing 7.62 mm machine gun mounted on the left side and can be fired by a push of a button on the handles. Each Quadracycle carries 500 of these rounds in a internal box that can easily be removed and refilled with 7.62 ammunition. On the right side 2 small 30 mm Anti-Air rockets can be fired via the right handle and contains heat-seeking rounds. The front contains 4 20 mm HEAA dumbfire rockets that can also be fired via a handle control. The rear exhaust system contains a 1 litre canister of smoke producer that at a touch of a button can be added to the exhaust to produce a blinding (an stinging might I add) cloud of dark smoke. The canister can last for 10 minutes of continous use. The rear contains 2 20 mm dumbfire HEAA rockets (rear-firing). It also has a box of 500 tire-shredding tacks that can be dropped 25 at a time. A mini-mine system containing 10 miniature mines can replace the tire tacks. The Quadracycle is built with a powerful Titanium-Ceramic Armour that is nearly impervious to low-calibre weapons. The fuel tank can last up to 100 miles and requires fuel of at least 90 octane to run properly. It also contains holsters for ARs, Pistols, and with an extra strap can hold an RPG down. The Quadracycle also is built to be low and have the front window (bullet-resistant glass) encompass the user as much and as low as possible. This is the newest revolution in fast moving infantry divisions and you can deploy these light vehicles to anywhere with your paratroopers quickly and easily. It is also useful for clandestine operations, if an agent is compromised they can make a cool and explosive escape.

Pods of 4 20 mm HEAA missiles or a Anti-Air rocket pod can be added on either side for a slight speed and fuel penalty. These cost an extra 10,000 USD per Quadracycle.

They are sold in sets of 10.

For 8.5 Million USD you can get a set of 10 AVMC-05 Sceptres. A 10-year full-warranty applies to every Quadracycle sold.

Until I can get a better powerplant I can't go much faster. If anyone has a quantum induction coil, or a mini-fusion reactor, then I'd be going somewhere.

ooc: Even the Marine motorbike can go 80mph and not consume as much fuel as an aircraft engine.

Why on god's green earth would you armor it?

You couldn't possibly put enough armor on it to stop 40mm GLs. And what about the rider? Couldn't I just shoot the rider, or toast him with a thermobaric rocket?

OOC: Good advice on fixing the design

Armoring is to prevent any "cannon fodder" from picking up an AR and scoring a lucky hit on it. Will fix design.
