Not self-stable like a Trike or a Can-Am Spyder. However with the two front wheels, it looks funny but increases front contact patch. I haven't ridden one yet to see how it tracks in a corner, but the innovation is interesting. Besides looks, I am concerned with the maintenance given additional linkages and suspension elements.

It’s like 2000cc short on displacement!

Hardly an innovation. There are loads of similar scooters about.

The only logical progression from Yamaha's Tricity 300 is the electric mobility scooter. Maybe Harley needs to get on-board in this market for all their aging hog riders.

I just don't have a single good thing to say about these Hydra headed monstrosities. The only time I see two front tires on a motorcycle is if I have had 6 or 7 shots of Whiskey. No thanks.

Three wheelers have their place and in the right hands they can keep up with most riders in the twisties and some straights.

There are at least 3 wives, of captains on this forum, riding Can-Ams and I bet there aren't many here that would say they are slow.

It leans, it falls over, it can also wheelie... don't see the problem tbh.
