No argument from me!  I like bikes and lean into bends, remember....   ;D

 ;D ;D I didn't mean it to come across like that.
It does look precarious but still 'better' than the super cars in Clarkson's comparison tests.  :y :y

I must have a thing for three wheels then. I have my unfinished project in the garage with three wheels and also like the look of the Piaggio MP3   :-[ :-[
 ;D ;D ;D ;D



off topic ..... the link above suggests you 'can drive it on a car license cos it's classed as a trike' That must surely be wrong otherwise you wouldn't need a helmet  :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ Don't the 2 wheels need to be a certain distance apart before it's considered a trike? :-/

Not sure on the wheel distance thing Andy.  I was always under the understanding that it was the number of wheels, not the distance apart but - age and red vino do have effects, apparently.....    ;D

I think the wheels have to be ten inches apart, so it will be an official trike - no skid lid & drive it on a car licence then!  :y

I believe the classification of a trike was two wheels in line or on the same axle. But could be wrong.

I saw this the other week as well. Company went bust in '09 and only 200 were ever built.

I would love one but i'd just spend all day going around roundabouts :y
