Last week while getting my Goldwing Trike checked out at Rocket Moto in Nashua NH I got the chance to ride the tilting reverse trike you see here. Adam, the owner of the shop advised me on what to expect while riding it so I would have an idea what the unique characteristics would be. Started out on a secondary road then took it up on the highway for a few miles reaching a speed of 80 MPH. It rode comfortably enough although the stock Harley rear suspension sucks the front suspension soaked up all the bumps and potholes beautifully EXCEPT when leaned over and being aggressive with it. While leaned and turning if there were any ripples or irregularities in the road the handlebars would oscillate a little. Other thank that this thing was pretty nice to ride. The front brakes have INSANE stopping power, felt a lot like Brembo's.

Adam feels the shock valving needs to be better tuned for our roads, I believe him. Workmanship on this setup is first class and a real eye opener. Perimeter brakes up front too.

just my point of view: front end is fugly, that big grill on fender just don't do it for me, hope there are other models that don't have that.
