Note the last line of the article: "..Perhaps with this new platform, we’ll get to see Erik Buell work with the V-ROD motor at last and indeed, what a sporting carver might do when focused on sporting endeavours..." They call it a "carving model". I think I could see myself enjoying carving my way through the curves on something like that. I wonder if a configuration like that lends itself to subconcious steering inputs of rider lean like a motorcycle? If so, that would make for a smooth transition from two wheels to three. I have a very limited amount of time on three wheeled motorcycles (one short ride on a BMW with a sidecar in the 70's). But making the transition can be a little terrifying as first if you go to something that has little or nothing in common with riding motorcycles. Jack | ||

That last line seems like a HUGE silly stretch to me. It's not a Buell; it's a Harely-Davidson, and the sketches show it using an air-cooled engine. |
