Cold and tired from the ride this morning and this afternoon just sitting around checking out new bikes. Ran up on the 2019 Yamaha Niken GT. Very much different.

I would definitely look at this if I lived somewhere where there was ice/snow. I like riding year round and this looks like it would be the ticket. I have been on a Can Am Spyder and did not like how one has to hold on in turns because it does not lean. I have been told traditional trikes require a lot of effort to get them to turn.
 
First glance thought was "What the $uck" Did some research and was impressed. Different is a understatement. Kind of like it.
 
If they are anything like the 3 wheel tilting scooters then they will be awe inspiring in corners.
If it had a shaft I'd be thinking more favourably.
 
I had a test ride on one couple of months back,for me it would take a bit of time to get used to ridin one,you can push it hard round the corners. I decide to stick with the Rocket !!!
 
Finally i see a bike that is as ugly as a burnt light bulb on a moonless nightbut i would still ride it
