Polaris trike?
That looks more like a 3 wheeled car to me, not that I wouldn't be fun to drive. I saw something like that as a kit that used a BMW bike for the rear section.

I guess I would have to look at it since I have 5 Polaris sleds.

I think what was behind the two front seats were a set of roll bars not back seats. I applaud any and all of these new concepts. Innovation is going to benefit everyone. We need to see more thinking outside the box.

Not a trike..!!
The English made several vehicles such as the one pictured. They were classified as cars because you sat in an enclosed cabin. I think they would be a compeditor for the T-Rex and sort. Although it looks cool..

The write up on Kneeslider says a GM 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine. Bet it lights up the rear tire real easy.

Too enclosed for my liking. Yes the English was first, with their Morgan 3 wheeler.

... Motorcycles are kind of like Baskin Robbins... You're looking at 31 flavors of ice cream, don't you kind of want to know what they all taste like?...

I will have one please. In my experience, however, the only thing that craters faster than a Rotax is a Polaris engine. But a four cylinder N/A engine might hold up.

Too much like a T Rex or a Morgan, not motorcycle enough for me!

Too car like for me--but then again--Polaris has a good history of quality build--guess I'd have to wait and see if it really happens

Well it sure looks like it has some potential...
But I think that I'd still be more interested in one of these...ACE 01.jpg

The Morgan is being manufactured and imported once again. Starts at $55K and goes on from there. Pretty steep for something with an air cooled HD engine.
The GG Tauras is a good looking machine but also a bit pricey.
Spyder is a great machine at a reasonable price which is probably why the others won't sell very many.

Didn't someone come out with a 3-wheelers car back in the 40s? They made a movie about it, I think.

Harley has had at least two concept front trikes on the drawing boards. If they made a serious effort to market them at the same price point as the Spyder there would be some real market competion. I still feel the Spyder would be a more technological advanced machine but the market out there would most likely swing towards the Harley. Just because.....

The Pennstar...1996 HD reverse Trike 01.jpg They worked on this concept back in the mid-nineties... I guess that they figured that nobody would show enough interest in it to make it a viable design.

See a lot of potential in all thee but IMHO BRP still has the best idea. If they would beef up their suspension as many of us have after market and most important bring us more power in the engine compartment this would go farther in increasing their sales.
