Tilting Motor Works Conversion Makes Riding a Cinch for Everyone

Harley trike sports a tilting conversion that makes it even easier to ride.

This day is coming. Better than a trike. Better than not riding at all by far.

Around fourteen thousand for this on a tour model, could be more. At least it preserves the ABS

I'd like to take one for a test ride. Wont buy one. Performance is at the top when it comes to these things and there's no denying it. But theres something else- I learned it in my chop building days- Stance. How a bike looks at curb line. It may not matter to some but it does to me. Looking at my FLRT just at sunup this morning at the rest area . The lines flow from front to rear giving it a chopped look- Stance, how it looks when your walking up on it. Front wheel trikes dont have it , they never will. You can dress the baby up in the most expensive clothes but the kid is still ugly. Each to thire own.

Most of y'all need to read some books on motorcycles. This is nothing new.

i would own a trike first. i have never like the look of these. the good thing at least in NH . if you take your driving test on one that's all you can ride. and i can say i have met the biggest douches on these things.

before certain people accuse me of lumping a whole group of people , i am speaking from experience so far it's been about 75% douche and 25% cool people

It may make more sense than a trike but at least on a trike it looks like your riding on two wheels, at least from the riders view.
It's going to take time for me but someday some abomination like this is in my future.

The Tilting concept gives you the lean of a motorcycle, so I do like that. But at $14k, you'd be having to find the "right" person to buy it when it comes time to sell.

For $14k, my first reaction is I'd sell my HD and I'd get a Can Am Spyder. Or an HD trike. Or a convertible. Just from a financial aspect, it makes for better resale. IMO
