Default SV three wheeler

Came across this image on G+. I'm not sure it's real but I'd like to see how that front end is attached. No more info was available.

Looks like it could it be one of those Aprilia scooter front ends, with custom wheels.

Ive ridden one, although strange, it wasnt that much different from riding on two wheels.

I could still tuck the front on that. Its my main talent in life. it's an interesting concept for a full road bike.

Sadly it'll probably go the same way as the two wheel drive ideas that came and went.

It'd be great for some disabled bikers who can't ride conventional 2 wheelers or short people

My mates Piaggio has a suspension lock, so you can keep your feet up at traffic lights, it automatically disengages when you ride off.

Have to admit I'm strangely drawn to it, must have been the mushrooms.
