Anybody seen this thing? First I've heard of it. Thoughts?

No. Me too. Much to my surprise I like the look.

This concept has been shown for at least a year now and the rumor is that it is going into production. Honda is smart to introduce a three wheeler that handles and corners like a traditional motorcycle. I hope the styling is more conventional on the production model.

Here in Thailand we have (had) the Yamaha Tricity. It didn't sell well and I think it's now been dropped.

Add a 4th wheel and you have the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPWzgUREHCM]Quadro4

I like the Neowing and I'd like to ride that Quadro4 too!

I don't quite get the three wheelers of either type. If I went that way, I'd probably go for a small sporty ragtop.

Agreed! They have none of the advantages of a motorcycle or a car. Small Honda three-wheelers were sold in Canada decades back, but proved to be unstable and dangerous.

Quads are very popular hear in the rural areas, especially on dirt roads and trails. They are more stable than either a motorcycle or three-wheeler, and can haul lots of hunting and fishing gear. The deeper into the woods I went with my CB500X looking for quiet fishing spots, the more likely I would run into a quad rider.

Early Honda 3 wheelers had 2 rear wheels which is very unstable. With 2 front wheels that articulate and lean, you would have all the advantages in stability at rest of a three wheeler with the same handling as a motorcycle. No way I would have an open car over this.

So, rebirds, are you saying you can get the same 2 dimensional flying sensation i get on ridding a motorcycle? I've never tried one but, just can't see it being anything similar. Guess I'll have to try it. But I am pretty confident that a well tuned sports car could deliver just much driving excitement as any 3 wheeler, with the addition of being able to put the top up when it rains!
