Tilting Motor Works...
#1
Interesting and brief Youtube video...

A kit that adds to wheels to the front of (thus far) Harley Davidson line (most, not all models) and the Goldwing.

No mention of pricing...

Enjoy,

I think Piaggio was the first major company to actually put this concept in production but with Honda and Yamaha now offering concept models it's sure to become a more readily available option for riders.

I remember reading a road test on the first Piaggio leaning 3 wheeler. The tester raved about the great front end traction, greater safety on wet roads and that the scooter otherwise handled like any other 2 wheeled bike.

It appears, from the video to be a high quality product. I'll guess it is pretty expensive too.

But I'd rather have that setup, which would permit this old man to ride a Goldwing... a bike I've lusted after for ages. Sadly, I live on a beer budget even with two part time jobs.

And I thought the gear indicator was a quantum leap.

Correct redbirds - the Piaggio MP3 was an earlier implementation that appeared to have some success.

Yeah, HD did a decent job integrating the front end. However, I spoke to some hard core HD riders in the past year and they said no. However, a few said, "side car". I think side car is still a thing in Eastern Europe, possibly Germany too?

Of course, another single driver alternative to three-wheel motion is the [url=https://electrek.co/2018/05/09/electra-meccanica-begins-deliveries-in-us/]"Solo" by Electra Meccanica in Vancouver, BC.

" ... The SOLO is a three wheeled EV that feels like a luxury electric car, but is technically registered as a motorcycle. "



" ... US$15,500. By December, 5,000 will be zipping around the streets of Los Angeles, with an additional 70,000 to be delivered over the next two years across the West Coast. Electra Meccanica may have a market value of just US$44 million, yet it has US$2.4 billion in pre-orders."

Yet another type of vehicle [driver] that will need to coexist with traditional motorcycles.
