I'm confused Bob.

The article states it should be in production in 2007. Is this being made?

Also at the top of the page it says last update 12/21/2012 :yikes: Did I go to bed last night and wake up a year later?:yikes:

Vaporware. Never built, never sold (and never would be, not at that price point :yikes.

Too bad.

I think it is ugly looking personally.

It's the KTM heritage. The only thing missing is the milk crate and ADV bumper stickers. :joke:

Most newbies, And a few going though their second childhood would be killed on a leaning [with those angles] Trike. That's why most buy a Trike and not a Motorcycle!

I wouldn't know what to do with that thing, I still have training wheels on my spyder.

Different. But I did not like it. Sounds like it never will be produced for the public.

I think it would be fun to ride, but no way it would replace my RT!

 

[AMTJIM]

I'm really liking that one.

The spyder would eat it. Seriously.. we've had this discussion many times before.

With out electrical or hydraulic assist, a leaning reverse trike takes too much energy to transition from a left or right lean to the other. With one wheel up front like many of the leaning trike like vehicles the geometry makes the physics work... Reverse the wheel pattern and physics works against you.

I'm not saying that the linked trike wouldn't be fun to ride, but I think the Spyder is much more refined and better performing with the A arms up front and a non leaning design. I'd totally love it if they made one that leans with a technical assist... but I'm not sure many of us could afford that model.

Here's a single-seater based off of a Vulcan... The Scorpion. I don't know what to make of the styling, but at least folks are trying... :shocked:

Leaning Trike

It looks to me like the thing is leaning in the WRONG DIRECTION. It looks to be leaning toward the outside of the curve.
I would think you want to lean to the INSIDE of the curve, no?

Nope, It's leaning the right way , Just like a motorcycle it countersteers.

Have spoken to Brudelli via e-mail last two months while investigating building my own leaner, Brudeolli wont be going production but are available as a custom build. I doint like them because theyre width at front is way to big, may suit the icy roads just fine, I'm not building for that.

I havent actually spoken to tilting works but they havent had anything new on their website for 8 months which makes them stagnant.

On Weslls Facebook page an engineer from Wesll claimed their production was close and not cheap. I told them if they ever ewanted to make any money to lower the price and make the ROI longer so that they could sell some units and build a culture. That was 6 months ago. Nothing even whispered since as far as I know.

Scooters and a place in Germany that makes quads out of KTM road bikes plus say GG quads (Neither of those 2 lean) are the only production bikes i know. But tilting scooters are selling quite well (20,000 MP3's in France I hear) but no word on even one Can Am conversion. I hope curiosity continues and actually results in something.

I am persueing building something as an enabled rider with my Roads authority preliminary approval here. If I get the chance it will go to at least as far as my own bike. :f_spider:
