    Harley would have done better had they not made the Penster "leaning". From the discussions here on leaning trikes, one can see that there are inherent drawbacks. I don't like the front end of the thing. Looks like a bug of some kind!! I think a non-leaning Penster had promise. Too bad they didn't go ahead with this.

    IMO: Kind of neat looking. Since it did not go into production, it seem hard to compare to the .

    Given how much heat we get off the engine on the RT, how would the foot position and pipe position work on this? Seems like the right side pedals are pretty much placed to drive your leg into the pipe. Chaps for everyone?

    If it was a non leaner i would take it without hesitation, price wouldn't matter either. Lots of options in reverse trikes out there, you just have to look.

    They were very itneresting for sure! But I'm still glad that the BRP took the idea and ran with it...
