Looks prickly.  Are these things designed by 8-y-o mutant turtles?

Oh, see! Honda removed a wheel from the Yamaha Tesseract.

It's just hard for me to warm up to the Raging Insect style on some bikes, etc.

1 thing for sure, it doesn't have any of the storage practicality of a MP3.  Strictly for 1 dimensional use.

Have designers forgotten how to use a French Curve?

[rodekyll]

They think a French curve is internet porn.   

If I made a trike with a manual transmission I think I'd start with a Goldwing.  I don't think it would end where this one does though.

I wish Honda would make a touring oriented reverse trike, with the 6 cyl boxer motor. I love my Goldwing trike, Its a DFT conversion with independent rear suspension.Its the  best bike for me to ride my wife on the back , but I wish it had the 2 wheels on the front instead of the rear. If it would lean like an MP3, man that would be perfect!

I bet that thing would kill you in 10 minutes.

Man I gotta have one of those!!

Wonder if they will have a towing package option.

:-)

 Don't think it will tow the Healey

Nope! Nope! Nope!

Three wheelers were outlawed in the 80's for a reason!
But I do understand it's the only way some people can still be in the wind and I respect that. Why give up something you enjoy when you could compromise a little and still be out there doing what we all love doing.

Three wheelers like the CanAm, MP3 and this Honda are not your father's three wheeler that was a quick way to a hospital. Completely different machines.

It's a prop for the next Godzilla or Mothra movie.

Bought brand new in 1986 when I was 18, just arrived at my first permanent base, Luke AFB oustide Phoenix.  Could ride the wide open desert from just outside the main gate (no development around back then).

Tons of fun in the sand!!

The key is that it can lean, like a MP3.  I don't like the width on the road, but when I can't hold a bike up or control it at low speed (hopefully quite a few years off) this holds a lot of promise.

And styling is a matter of taste.  But notice how older guys like the rounded curve designs  of the 80's and 90's and younger like the angular edgy designs of modern bikes.  I think it's just what was in style when we were first infatuated with motorcycles.
