At 64 kph, the Landwind's entire frame collapsed, and testers had to
amputate the crash dummy's legs with a hacksaw to remove it from the
wreckage.....

THAT being said, it comes in at about the price of a 3 wheeled Vespa
"fiorino" in many countries.  It would actually be a safety improvement 
if the people in small commerce zipping around on the 3 wheelers traded
up to a Landwind, especially now that many of the 3 wheelers are getting
the "scooter on steroids" modern engine upgrades.

There's always a flip side.
