Two vs Three Wheels

[Bob Denman]

Wanna get really conflicted? How about a leaning reverse trike? Some of the stability of 3 wheels but the leaning and fun of 2. You can get a tilting motor works conversion for a HArley or Goldwing today, the Yamaha MWT-09 is rumored to be out this year and the Honda Neowing may be coming in a year or two. Will certainly be interesting when there is that extra choice and I think it will really hurt Spyder sales.

It just means that better Spyders are coming too! :yes::yes::yes:

We can surely hope. I have been keeping up on the information but so far, I don't believe they are showroom ready yet. I am also NOT a fan of conversion units. They must be factory from a major manufacturer to get any consideration in my book. :thumbup:

Every day! :sour: But my story is a bit different....

Just wondering,

Does anyone miss not being on 2 wheels?

I don't. I had a moment of mixed feelings* when my 2013 RT was sitting in the garage next to my 2005 Goldwing, but a thought of the 'wing tipping over and the feeling was gone. It left, never to return, after riding my 2013 RT at 80+ mph for a couple of hours and realized when I stopped for gas that I felt safer on my RT at 80 mph than I ever did on my Goldwing at 70 mph.

*You know, that feeling you have as you watch your mother-in-law drive over the cliff in your brand new Cadillac!

I have such fun on my Spyder that I don't most of the time but every now and then I see one I would mind taking for a spin.. just sayin.

I am only 6 week into my Spyder F3S with almost all of that in the 10C to 20C weather (cool). I still miss riding two wheels alot! However from the safety aspect, I feel so so so much more safer on three wheels. Especially when 2 up.

Variety is the spice of life

When the going gets twisty, I always opt for the 2 wheelers. When it's dead of winter and roads are sketchy, or two up touring with luggage, the Spyder gets the call.

I still ride both. Each has its own kind of fun.

YA ---- me to. Sold my Valkyrie but still have the V-Max when I feel the need for speed.
You can't beat the feeling of the V-boost kicking in.
