Had a guy go on a motorcycle trip with us that had one. He was an older guy; wasn't experienced on a bike so he thought that would be a reasonable compromise. He had a good time on the trip but it's not like you can lean one over or anything to negotiate a tight turn. You just have to slow it down and work your way through it.
Honestly, to my eyes, it was pretty much the worst of all worlds, but I could see a little appeal to them I guess.
For my money, I'd just find myself a used Plymouth Prowler or something. [Reply]

They make sense for the older folks who still want to ride but may have balance issues, desire better stability etc. I've road one and they aren't bad.
I think they are a better platform trike then two wheels in the rear. [Reply]

100%. Trikes can and will roll over. Saw that happen more than once. Twice the rider was seriously injured.
Putting two wheels in the front reduces that risk several times over.
Also just don't have to worry about the thing laying over or having to keep it balanced while you're sitting at a light or whatever. [Reply]

Why not just get a car? I feel like I'm missing something here. [Reply]
