Default Harley 3 wheeler 2 in front 1 in back

There was some speculation a few months back that the MOCO was going to introduce a three wheeler similar to the one out of Canada. It would use the engine/tranny from the V-Rod. Has anyone heard any more? Secondlly would you consider one if available?

I had drawing of it. They actually completed testing with it. It leaned in corners like the CanAm. Impressive looking, 19" front wheels and V-Rod chassis. It was cool. Harley kept the running versions and scrapped everything else.

that idea has been getting thrown around for the last two years. i don't think harley would ever actually put something like that out there. they aren't known for trying out new ideas.

don't get me wrong. it's a kick a$$ idea and if they put something like that into production i would be oine of the first in line.

Actually as far as the leaning trike, another company has started producing one. It's made by a company called Brudeli and is made to order, it has a KTM 650 engine.

As for the Can-Am, to set the record straight, it does not lean.

The best question is when people ask me if it steers in the back.

They were giving demo rides on the CanAm at the local dealer here this fall. Went up there, but being the typical dickwads they are there, didn't get much of a 'test' ride on it. More or less 'round the bldg.

And on one of our excursions up to Mille Lacs, Momma and I saw a 'herd' of 'bout 10 or 12 of them heading the other direction. Actually looked pretty interesting seeing a whole string of them going down the road.

Someone on here posted pics of the 'other' one. Intimidator, Terminator, Dominator, or whatever. Has the Formula One chassis in front. NOW that one gets my curiosity up!!!! But have yet to see it in real life.
Anybody, input?????

I actually saw one - really rather odd looking - yet neat in a way. But I did not know who made it.

HD copyrighted it back in 2003, I don't think you'll ever see it.
They were also going to release a Buell dirt bike (not the U) but haven't heard anything about that in over a year.
