I don't think it is self-supporting when stationary. Still needs the side stand. I find that mystifying.
Really ? I didn't dig into the specs yet.
The Piaggio MP3 three wheeler has a lock device for when you're stationary, it is optional to use but there if you need it

I bet your boots/legs get covered in shoite when it's raining. Wonder if it's easy to lift up after dropping it ?

For some reason I really like the look of this but it'd be a bugger to get onto a paddock stand...

Video here...
Front wheels are only 410mm apart, this means that unlike some other trikes, with wheels further apart than 460mm , this one cannot be ridden on an older car licence (my understanding of the current regs might not be up to date here)

I kinda fell for a little bit in love with this when they released the concept images 12+ months ago.
I like the new design they're going with (MT10 esk).
Having seen it in the video i'm not a sure as before, but it looks like it could be fun to ride(drive??)

I like it a lot. I wonder if it qualifies for Motability funding as it seems a little more exciting than the old Greeves Invacar?

I like it and applaud Yamaha for being bonkers. I believe the front tires are 120 / 15.. A 240 contact patch for braking? Could be mitigated by the tonnage of the vehicle....
The best thing about MP3's and the like is how well they handle on crap, slippery roads. I should imagine the Niken has this ability, too.
Dunno if I would want to own one but I would certainly love to have a go Mister!

Absolutely.
As if the MT-09 isn't useful enough already....... will the Niken outperform it in the corners ? That could be interesting !

Would have been a total riot with the MT10 (1000cc crossplane) engine in it!
