Leaning trike at Sturgis Rally

[Harley Ultra]

I just got back from Sturgis, what a trip, and I saw at the Black Hills Dealership a vendor that had a trike, I guess. Front tires seemed closer together and the darn thing leaned left and right. I got to thinking I might like that. Does anyone remember seeing the display, if so, please get me the product info.

Looks like it's well engineered and rides great. Something about a reverse trike though just doesn't seem right.

TMW holds a world record at Bonneville so the engineering is quite impressive. The RT design is superior in all ways but to me a leaning trike is just a novelty as a standard 2 wheeler leans and there is no advantages to an extra wheel that can do what you already do. Plus it's one more expensive hard mc tire you have to purchase. And you are still limited in lean angle and ground clearance.

Leaning is overrated as a proper non-leaning RT will out perform the base bike in corners and lends it's way to off the paved road adventure riding. The non-leaning RT design like CanAm and others is the way of the future for trikes so TMW has the base concept right.

Tilting Trike

I would love to try it. I like the idea of leaning like a 2-wheeler.

Still reminds me of somethin a young guy'd ride that didn't have enough guts to get on a real two wheeler. Unless maybe he was handcapped, that I can understand.

I do have to admit the engineering that makes the front wheels tilt is nice, but it's been done before.

Yes it has been done before.
Mystery designs has a option that allows them to tilt. You can add it later or with the kit.

Toyota has an electric 3 wheel vehicle that tilts but is enclosed. I think it is called an i-road.

Harley has been threatening to produce one for about ten years now '
It's called the Penster... They have it copyrighted and patented.
