Found this in a 1974 Popular Mechanics magazine in an antique store ... that poor old CB ...

Seems like quite a long wheelbase. Can't imagine it wouldn't be a little "bouncy" in the middle?

Thought for a minute it was the result of a rear-ender. Yikes.

I wonder if someone at BRP was inspired by this when they concocted the Can-Am Spyder.

Why is all I can come up with.

The poor old CB indeed!!!!!!!!!

The first time I found myself behind one of those three-wheeled Piaggio scooters on the freeway, the overall visual looked like the scooter rider was dragging his feet. It wasn't until I passed him, thinking he must be in some sort of danger, that I realized that what I thought were legs were the two front forks of the scooter.

Imagine following this thing in traffic and wondering what happened to the poor motorcycle rider after he slammed into the back of a van?
