Bombadier produces 106 HP v-twin, oh yeah it's a trike . . .

Ah those other North Americans the Canadians have decided it's time resurrect the Morgan three wheeler. So for this generations take on the Morgan there's a thumping big v-twin mounted onto a reverse trike platform, throw some Transfomers meets jet-ski style bodywork on the device and hey presto instant road attack.

It looks very cool. However, it manages to combine all of the disadvantages of a car with all of the disadvantages of a bike.

You thinking of upgrading from the one in your Avatar SV650S_DUB sorry couldnt resist.

I like the idea - if Peugot and others continue along the lines of its 3 wheel moped with the leaning when you turn - for a sport bike - I think there would be alot of growth in this market for sure.

Out of interest I heard on the grapevine that Bombadier were looking at developing a proper road bike as well and utilising a new Rotax twin.

That NYT article was a pile of crap. He needed to be told how to use a clutch and gears FFS.

Boring - everytime someone says the word "trike" this old gem is rolled out......

How about out on the open road on a sunny day?

How about if you are unable to ride a 2 wheeler due to disablity?

Your chances of finding both a clear road and a sunny day in Britain are pretty low. What would you do with it on the other 360 days of the year?

looks cool

I like the Campagnia T-Rex (another Canadian company ) a lot more, their cornering capability is comparable to a Formula 1 race car
