If so, perhaps you can answer a question. Is there a particular reason that they have two wheel in the front as opposed to conventional trikes with two in the rear?

They are advertising these all over the place.
Do the three front wheels make classify it as a car instead of a bike? I thought I read that somewhere a long while back, but am not positive. -

Suppose to be more stable that way, there is a car like that called the aptera
Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about thatComment

I've been toying with the idea of purchasing a trike of some sort .... Over the last year I have dumped my Road King twice, once in a parking lot and once at a traffic light. I've got a bad left knee that sometimes just doesn't fucking work. Put pressure on it and sometimes nothing is there. Fucked up situation that will get worse not better.

It makes them more stable. I used to own a conventinal trike and this fucker threw me off when I took a corner I ended up with the trike going over my leg and she was a big baby as you can see below. I have also been on runs and seen one flip over when one of the back wheels hit something on the side of the road. The pasenger came off worst
Heres the one I used to own

I feel your pain. Getting the dresser was probably the worst thing I have done as far as my knees are concerned. goodgirl wants to get a trike for herself, but we are leaning towards something like this.

With all due respect, that is hardly conventional . . . at least in the US.It makes them more stable. I used to own a conventinal trike and this fucker threw me off when I took a corner I ended up with the trike going over my leg and she was a big baby as you can see below.

Yes, I've got the RS model.
Reason I've bought it? I can drive it without a motorcycle license in Europe but can still enjoy the feeling of open air riding.
Reason of it having 2 wheels in the front vs. 2 in the back (trike) = more safety, better braking (most traction while braking is in the front of the vehicle).
It handles very well, different than a motorcycle though as you move differently through corners, once your used to it it's natural. I guess you can compare it more to a Snowmobile or a Jet-ski handling wise.
It has quite a few safety features such as: Vehicle Stability System (VSS) that includes ABS, Traction Control and Stability Control.
The built in front trunk (11.6 Gal) is nice for the quick shopping tour or to just carry stuff with you without saddle-bags or a backpack.
It has RWD powered by a belt that leads to a 998cc V-Twin engine made by Rotax that produces 106 hp.
If you are looking for any other info you can probably find it here: http://spyder.brp.com/en-US/General-Info/FAQ.htm or feel free to ask me about it.

P.S.: I'm not trying to be a biker or whatever, i just enjoy open air rides, but don't feel like taking the time to make a special motorcycle license in the country where I live, so since the Spyder gives me that feeling without the need of a MC license and I like the look / design etc. it was a perfect fit.Facilitation - BizDev - Traffic - Consulting - Marketing

lol Its a converted reliant which a lot of bikers used to use over here cause they were so easy to convert. This one was built by NABD http://www.nabd.org.uk/ for a guy that had MS but he found it to hard to use the pedals so I purchased it from him.
You used to see a lot of converted reliant trikes over in the UK on the bike runs and rallysComment

the S2000 is nice too - always depends on your budget. Also a Boxster is fun to drive.
i have no doubt about that

Fixed it for you, got a PHP error by your other image / link...
Nice mods you've made to your Spyder. Is that the phantom body-kit or have you got a paintjob ?
Is that a Corbin Seat or the BRP upgrade?
How do you like the ride and did you get some risers or do you like the factory riding position?Facilitation - BizDev - Traffic - Consulting - Marketing

Reminds me of Corey & Trevor's snowmobile with wheels from Trailer Park Boys lol“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.”
