If this is the answer, I'm not sure what the question was.

Market research has shown that older riders want 3 wheels...and newer riders appreciate the safety. And those who have no intention of ever owning a motorcycle said they are open to 3 wheels.

I read a nice article about this. I'll try and dig it up.

Every manufacturer is going to have a 3 wheeler...BRP is spending bazillions for the next gen Spyder.

And you know the question: what type of bike prevents high sides?!?

You knew Ron would go there first.

I have to get all the mileage I can from this!

The first thing I thought when I saw it was: ok for the front end, but that's not the end I'm having difficulty with. 


This thing can't self balance though. That's kind of the usual advantage of things like the CanAm Spyder and so on.

I think it looks really cool, but it seems like a lot of effort for no real gain?
