    Default Rider Magazine--December 2016

    Check out the centerfold ad in the December 2016 edition.

    A two page spread showing the Motor Trike conversion (spyder style) for two separate models of Honda. A GW and a CTX 700.

    The conversion--IMO--is the most ugly thing that could happen to either motorcycle.

    The coffin front makes the F3's look like they were styled by geniuses.

    The GW--what can I say? It looks like an afterthought with a GW pushing a coffin on a trailer down the road.

    When, and if, Honda comes out with a reverse trike, I am sure hoping they will have the styling thought out better than the conversion.

    I usually like Motor Trike stuff, and have had the drools many times. Here--what were they thinking?

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Apologies folks. I was thinking that most are regular Rider readers (say that one five times fast).

    I do not have the ability to scan--so if someone else will, thank you in advance.

    The link provided above shows the 700 version and digging into it, there are many great pictures.

    I'm sorry, but in my opinion that front end is "Butt Ugly".
