Saw this trike at a local car/bike neighborhood dealer they're asking 19k. kinda cool kinda different. i think it's an 09 sporty, they also have an 09rs silver with some warranty for 12, 541777

My H D dealer had a 2011 883 Sporty, New no miles and the Harley warranty that he converted to a trike,
If i remember correctly he wanted 16k, It reminded me of the Honda Big Red 3 wheel ATV.

I've seen some Lehmann Sportys... I very much prefer the Spyder!

I think technologically speaking, there is no comparison. Spyder is way superior 👍

Technologically... and every other way-speaking! :thumbup:

I was thinking the same.

for 19K. there are a lot of technology features on :spyder2: that the trike will not have. If I was a dyed in the wool HD person--I am sure I would be thinking differently though.

I've always been a fan of those Lehman trikes, especially the stripped-down no-trunk Sportster versions. They're sharp looking.

In fact, that's what I was first looking at, way back before I bought the Spyder. To be honest, I wasn't sold on the Spyder's looks, and seeing the RS only online and in ads, it looked like too much of a "sportbike" seating position.

It wasn't until I finally sat on one at a dealer when I went, "Oh! THIS is what it's like!" that I was convinced to check them out. A trike class later, and I was sold.

Still, if I had the money for toys, I'd consider a Lehman (although probably not a Sportster-- I like the looks best, but I'm far more comfortable on a Softail or larger).

I get Rider magazine and the current issue must have over a half dozen trike conversions from all the "big boys". Were I to purchase one of those--and I am not--I would probably want a Gold Wing in the conversion.

:agree: Anything built upon the 'Wing foundation is gonna be pretty darn good! :thumbup:
But it still ain't a Spyder! :lecturef_smilie:
