Honda Three Wheel Concept

[tawilke46]

Here is a good one for you. This concept is a hybrid four cylinder/electric tilt steering trike.
Kinda mimicks a Piaggio MP3 and CanAm Spyder.

I could do without the hybrid technology, but the rest of the design has potential.

An ST 1300 that can corner harder with more torque... would love to take one for a ride.

Karl - The engine is closer in architecture to a 4-cyl, GL1200 Gold Wing. And knowing Honda, they probably changed everything!

I dig it. If it has three wheels I would want one designed from the get go to have three wheels instead of a trike conversion!

 

[Comanche]

i like it. I hope Honda develops it.

Here you have this big *** vehicle with no where to put anything. It needs a pair of saddle bags.

 

[DirtFlier]

I sure you can add bags & top box to the back whereas on a Trike conversion, all the space is taken by having two huge rear wheels and only room for a top box.

Easy enough to do.

I would be interested only if it leans. Otherwise, it's like every other trike with all of the disadvantages of a motorcycle and non of the advantages.

I'd like to see a smaller-than-1000 cc displacement engine and the addition of a very aerodynamic fairing of the sort that would make Craig Vetter happy to have it in his fuel efficiency competition.

I don't know what conversions you looked at but everything made for touring, for both Wing and H-D touring bike conversions, that I saw had a nice trunk and a top box. My Tri-Glide, effectively an OEM conversion, had more room in the trunk than the NT's large pannier lids and top box combined...plus the big top box.

I like it. It appears smaller than the Spyder which I would like. I like much better if the fronts lean. Of course I would love to see that engine in a two wheeler.

Ah, yes! That's a really good idea!

 

[bicyclist]

Ah, yes! That's a really good idea!

It appears to be shaft driven, as well.
