I've never ridden one but I would also think that a lot of the steering could be done by sliding the back end around? Great fun, especially on damp roads.
And do you have to wear a lid or so much protective gear? Good to ride in a T-shirt and Jeans in the summer - just hop on and go. Extrovert? you betcha!
I also like anything that has been nicely engineered
Would I have one now? NO!
Would I have one if for some reason I wasn't able to ride a two wheeler - Yep I'd have one like a shot |
It will weigh a bit more as a trike, but I'm keeping it as light as possible and hoping to tune it for a bit more power.
A lid is not a legal requirement on a trike. I've been on the other halfs (XV1100) without out one on local trips, and even at low(ish) speed shat myself. So I'll at least wear an open face on the monster - plus it keeps the crap out of your face.
