They had a road show here inviting folk to road test them, I was really keen to try something different, what a disapointment. I really wanted to like them but they were a starange mix of the worst bits of all sorts. The motor was strong but the exhaust for a tourer was way too loaud, the fuel range (<35mpg small tank) was poor, the instruments in bright light unreadable, hit a bump at a reasonable pace and the pillion needs back surgery, and the steering is very heavy.
And the cost was way way to high, more here than a fully kitted R1200RT.
As I said I was really looking forward to something different and refreshing what a massive disappointment. I can't see how it will fit into the biking world really

Three wheelers like that are very popular here in France, ridden well they make light work of roundabouts!
