Does look like it handles good.

Trikes are weird.  Feels like it is going to tip over in the turns.

How long do you think, JC ??  :nixweiss:   :huepfenlol2:   :huepfenlol2: 

It does look like it alleviates the tip issue Diamondback mentions and the feeling that you're being thrown off.  Good reason to stay in shape.  Put is off as long as possible.   :2vrolijk_21:   :2vrolijk_21:

 I have rode the SPYDERS fells like you going to get ejected every turn. The leaning on this one looks like the closest thing to riding a real motorcycle I've ever seen. That being said may God countinue to bless me with the strenth and balance to enjoy my two wheel bikes.  :-\

I'd give one a test drive. I like the dynamic stability, traction control, ABS and wide, flat rear tire on the Spyder. Might be a tough sell at $8,000.00 - $10,000.00 for the conversion. About the same as a rear trike conversion though.

Good idea. If there's a market, they will improve it. By the time I need the extra help, they may be OK.

I understand HD has the rights to an articulated rear differential for their existing trikes.  The Gold Wing trikes have an articulated rear differential and ride more like a bike.

No trikes for me.

First off that HD with twin front wheels is stone ugly.  Second, not all Goldwing conversions have independent suspension most of them are straight axle.

 ;) ;)

I was a the National Motorcycle Museum and saw my first Gold Wing with independant suspension.  There were four Gold WIng trikes 3 had independant and one was a hard axle (that was the oldest of the group).  The independant guys said it was much better.
