I honestly don't see the point. It seems to combine the worst things about cars (bad manoeuvrability, takes a lot of space) with the worst characteristics of a bike (no weather protection, vulnerable in accidents) and combine them in one package. I honestly can't say who this is supposed to appeal to. Bikers will laugh at it and car drivers will just buy a convertible, no?

Next question: Are digital watches suitable for people who drive cars?

They look kinda nifty in real life, but I wouldn't buy one. Motorcycles with 3 cylinders are cool, motorcycles with 3 wheels not so cool.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

It's just a backwards trike.

I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

I'm just a sucker for design and packaging. I have no interest in owning a motorcycle, but if I did. I think it looks "neat". I assume motorcycle riders would think I was a total loser if I rode up on one to bike night. (That's racing bikes around here)

I don't like the two front wheels... there's just too much going on.
But I do like the rear end of it a lot. I like the low slung look.

Yeah, I think this is better:

Not so much. At least the Can-Am has a cool design and doesn't look like it was made in shop class. Putting a cockpit on it and making it a trike has put it even further into "what's the point?"

Short answer: No. Mac users aren't cool enough for motorcycles. Most will drive VW Jettas so they don't spill their latte's.

Yeah I didn't quite get the comparison either...

I am actually debating on getting a bike for home to work travel. The only problem is, we have winters. 
If that wasn't the case I'd have had one by now. I might still buy a nice crotch rocket for every other season but winter. It would save on gas, and be fun at the same time.
That and Bekah really digs them.

I like 'em*. It's the size of that exhaust that does it.

I'd have to RIDE one before I made any comments on it. If it was fun, and drove well .. then I'd have no problems.

Ha ha ha! In this photo it honestly looks like a cross between a ride-on lawnmower and a mobility scooter. Ha ha ha!

That's for sure not the same on as in the OP.
And yes, this one is lame. So should appeal to quite a few people here.

It doesn't make a difference because the original is a ride-on lawn mower too.

That might have something to do with the fact that those are a different brand of trike.

Look again. I reposted the right bike, and it's still a lawn mower.

It's got kind of a snowmobile look.
