Default Harley Reverse Tilting Trike

Saw this online just now. Too bad its not in production. Who says that Harley doesn't innovate.

Would you guys buy something like this

I think that it's an interesting design. Certainly better than the CA Spyder, IMO, but probably not something that I'd be interested in buying.

Yeah the tilting design is way better than the Can AM design. I think Piaggio got it right for 3 wheels. Kind of funky looking though.

Harley's customer base doesn't like them to be innovative or maybe Harley just isn't any good at it.
I can recall seeing the concept a few times from custom builders over the years.

If someone likes the idea they may be interested in this

I saw the drawings for this when they first came out. Now seeing it actually built, I'm impressed and would like to test drive it. I didn't see a release date, are they going to actually start producing it?

Looks better than the Spyder in my opinion. I'd like to see a ride off between the two just out of curiosity not that Harley's will make production.

better looking than the spyder. Different riding position. I don't want to offend any trike guys si i'll just say I wouldn't buy any trike. I just don't see the point unless you're disabled but if I was this one would be at the top of list. Being able lean is what makes a motorcycle fun.

Saw this at the Geneva Motor Show a couple of years ago, not quite sure what category it fits in!
