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.

Just saying that having test ridden the Can Am Spyder, there is little similarity between it and riding a motorcycle other than they both have handle bars. The Neo Wing leans like a motorcycle and is even counter steered like a motorcycle and from tests I've read about Piaggio 3 wheel scooters the riding experience is exactly the same as a 2 wheeler. I am only giving my opinion about the 2 dimensional sensation. Cars, including open sports cars with their superior cornering grip, may be entertaining but for me, are not in the same league with a good handling bike and the sensation of flying on the ground can not be experienced in a vehicle that does not bank into a turn like an aircraft.

Neothanks.

I'm in agreement with redbirds. Having owned a Piaggio MP3 I can say that the experience of riding a leaning three wheeler is the same as two wheels. Same but maybe even better in the way it makes you feel more secure.

Hmmmm, I'll just have to try one. I've ridden several two rear wheel trikes but, that is a completely different a animal.

I've never ridden one but I've heard when a Cam Am turns the centrifugal tries to pull you off while the body remains pretty rigid.
RE: Honda Neowing - ClassicVW_imp - 04-24-2017
The Can Am is different than a Neowing or Piaggio MP3. The Can Am stays horizontal (no lean or almost no lean) and you do get forced to the outside. The Neowing tilts and so it leans- I would say just like a 2 wheeler.
IOW, you're not steering it like a car, you're leaning like a 2 wheel motorcycle.

Kind of like the "ClassicVW" I owned during my collage years. It tried to through you out the door on hard turns!

Honda designs and builds some decidedly different vehicles. There is a NM4 Vultus for sale sorta near me on Craigslist - https://raleigh.craigslist.org/mcy/6053078010.html
As for a three wheeler - not for me. My wife has one and enjoys it thoroughly, her daily drive is a 2 seater convertible that I drive about once a year. Just doesn't do anything for me. Both run well and handle fine but don't interest me.
My backup plan for when my two wheeled days are drawing to a close is to extend my motorcycling days by switching entirely to sidecar rigs. Love them, great utility vehicles and carry a lot of cargo. Still toying with adding a sidecar to the CB.
