Interesting picture. I like the red color. That's all I am going to say here. :thumbup:

Looks like a HD copy with some kind of nose erection
I would be very concerned about the safety or lack of safety programs it does or doesn't have (ie-Nanny). I don't see any electronics in the front braking system.

Why the concern? The Nanny exists because the Spyder's front end *doesn't* tilt, and thus you need the computer to manage traction in corners.

Still, I agree: this thing's one ugly mother...

Well personally I think we will see competition for the Spyder and YES I also think many will have tilting front wheels as to remove the need for Nanny... Like the Piaggio scooter.

But hey.. I don't even own my spyder yet (tomorrow I pick it up) so what do I know. :)
Just thinking that some will want to feel planted in the seat on turns and wants tilting....

Looks like the typical look of a tilting reverse trike :lecturef_smilie: It is ugly as are all versions that I have seen to date.

Agreed that is BUTT ugly!.... but that does not mean some large company wont produce one that is "high end" and tilts so regular bike folks get the "feel" they want.

Seriously... I bet (and you can look back on this post later and SLAP me if I am wrong) that in a year or 2, there will be a production, tilting, forward trike design, from a established company.

No way does a market like this (even small) go untouched for competition long!

Just my .00003 cents.

Is that a finished product, or just an engineering mule?
As miles go; I can understand the lack of styling...
But if that's it; the guy who drew it up needs new glasses! :shocked:

[Firefly]

One word: FUGLY !

[Bob Denman]

I find it "interesting", that they don't show it being ridden hard, and leaned way over in a turn... :shocked:

[CruiseRT]

Those are very good technical descriptions.:agree:
