    Default Yikes...!!

    Saw this all over the media and have to say...that is the ugliest, IMO, of all the attempts.. Alfa Romeo grill and all. Bummer cause it is a good looking bike. I think if they all stop keeping the whole bike and just removing the front forks and design and whole new vehicle with their powerplant and acc they could come up with a hit....

    Give them some time, and they'll get the appearance sorted out!

    Personally: I'd LOVE to see some Reverse-Trike builds on their bigger bikes...

    None of these bike to trike conversions appeal to me. They all look like some "hack job" done in Frankenstein's garage over beers. Spyders OTOH look so much more integrated, like somebody actually gave a thought to balancing the front and rear styling.

    Default I would love to take it for a spin

    I like the look and technology built into the Indian motorcycles and I like the look that they have evolved into. This thing could grow on me personally..!

    Default I think its different

    [I Don't think it looks that bad, its got the Indian look. And I would also like to try one. I do expect that if perfected and mass produced that their cost will make the Spyder look cheap in comparison. But I think the more three wheelers out there like the Spyder will maybe force the Can-Am people to reduce the cost as they are pricey on the high end.]

    Remember when spyders first came out - 'ugly' was just one of the comments ...
    And the John Deere lawnmower comments for the F3 ?

    Damn thats beautiful and probably well built. Gonna sell my Spyder TODAY so I may ride an original "Indian".

    At least I can sit in the service area with the two guys I know who have constant oil leaks. Good times ahead.

    Default Indian trike

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I kind of like the steam-punk look of it , kind of retro looking.

    Fugly! The proportions are all wrong. Tiny panniers, huge nose with a giant cowl, fender skirts that are accompanied by modern chrome wheels. I like steam punk just fine, but this is like a parody of steam punk, with a little Donk thrown in.
