Harley-Davidson developing corner-carving trike

Harley-Davidson introduced its first official trike in years earlier in 2008 and now looks to flip things around a bit with a new reverse-trike that leans into corners. Rumors indicate that the huge American Motor Company will bring the corner carving trike in concept form to a motorcycle show set to take place next month in Cologne, Germany. If that debut indeed takes place, the machine is likely to be powered by the liquid-cooled Revolution V-Twin engine from the Rod series as opposed to the 45-degree air-cooled mill powering most of its bikes. We've known that the company has been working on this design for the past few years, filing patent drawings way back in 2006. The market is definitely ready for it now that Piaggio and Can Am have toed the waters. We look forward to seeing just how accurate these rumors prove to be next month.

Unless a person is handicapped I can't see why anybody would want one of those three wheeled abominations. Unless of course they just don't like motorcycles. But still, you gotta hit every thing in the road.

Can-Am has had one for over a year now:
Yeah, and it handles like a wheel barrow with rubber handles unless the road is perfectly smooth.

I'm sorry, but that thing looks more like a snomobile. :think: I ride motorcycles largly do to the "corner carving" ability. I'd ride a quad if I wanted something different. :|
