I'm not a big trike guy, but this thing looks pretty cool.

Well I.....hmmmmm.....they haven't grown on me yet.

Obadiah · 3 Weeks Ago

I'd sure like to ride one. Unlike a conventional trike, it looks like you actually have to lean this thing when cornering.

NCDave · 3 Weeks Ago

I bet it would be fun trying to slide the back end of it, kinda like an ATV, huh?

messer00 · 3 Weeks Ago

Starting price... $20,999 ~ Lower than I expected.

Lean your body maybe but the bike turns flat.

I found the sport version to be hard on my knees. I was folded pretty tightly in a sport-bike stance on it. This appears to have moved the controls forward a bit - I'll have to stop through the dealer one day. They look like fun but the price means I'd get something else, first.

The Piaggio MP3 leans through corners.

I like the 2 in the front trike concept, but i dont really like the looks of the Can-Am Spyders..

GreenDragon · 3 Weeks Ago

However, if i'm gonna go to something with 3 wheels that I cant lean, i'd rather have a T-Rex.

Actually they nosedive to the outside. You have to lean more than you'd think to the inside.

kinda sounds like a snowmobile..

Nomadthesailor · 3 Weeks Ago

I actually signed up for a test ride, a group thing, but in the hour wait, I decided it wasn't worth the time waiting. I've done those group test rides and they're not all that informative.

Vistavette · 3 Weeks Ago

I test rode one of the regular models at Las Vegas Bike Fest a few weeks ago; it wasn’t nearly as smooth as I figured it would be. The other observation was that I felt a bit cramped up on it; the controls were much more sport than cruiser. Overall a really cool concept; but I didn’t really dig it that much. The touring model may have been better but they didn’t have one there to see.

I assume they took the idea from snowmobiles since they are a snowmobile manufacturer.

VIVADUDE · 3 Weeks Ago

Not a fan......... too much like a snowmobile with wheels, sits too low to see ahead with a vehicle in front.

GreenDragon · 3 Weeks Ago

If I was going to consider 3 wheels.. i'd rather own a T-Rex.. its not only flippin sweet.. its got a kawi engine! T-Rex

barry5k · 3 Weeks Ago

Simply put, two wheels are more fun than three!

GreenDragon · 3 Weeks Ago

I'm willing to bet that carving a canyon on that T-Rex, which can pull 1G turns and out accellorate a lamborgini from zero to 60mph, would be just as fun as anything on 2 wheels..

If more than two wheels then I rather buy a car
