The Landing Gear option is cost effective and reliable.

Looks like a great idea I have seen videos on this, does the inventor have to do the intstall ? And what about any parts or service down the road

Recently my wife, after 45K miles on the back of my bikes, decided she was tired of looking at the back of my helmet. We tried to put her on a 2 wheel bike but she was concerned about controlling it. She would up with a Can AM Spyder F3-T and absolutely loves it.

Bumpus HD, Memphis is a dealer. I took the one they had out for a short test ride and liked much better than a trike. It still leaned like a real motorcycle and you needed to countersteer it to turn. The one I test rode did not have the option that held the bike up once you were stopped, still needed to put your feet down ( was told it wasn’t available at the time).

I haven't seen mention yet of just purchasing a lighter motorcycle and adjusting the ride height to allow for lower center of gravity and better balancing? A softail can be set up comfortably for touring. Didn't know if that was an option if you wanted to try and stay on two wheels?

Great choice, now she will blow you away then you'll want one.

Not a Harley though. Big distinction there.

Yeah, but what people want is pretty subjective ...

There are a lot of vehicles that could/would blow away my Harleys.... But you couldn't give me a Can-Am Spyder.... wouldn't want it, wouldn't ride it...

Just my opinion....
