As we all remember from geometry 3 points determine a plane. I believe that the chances are taht the 3 wheeler will handle better and provide beter stability.

I know 10 people that died from no helmets last year. THINK what's cooler..a hot ride or a smashed face? Idiots!

I have search for a long time different motorbike conversions from the internet. Like these tilting three wheelers (Brudeli, Tilting Motor Works, etc.) But this idea works because it's not too wide, looks cool and it's possbile to put this in a sportbike frame also. If these come to production I will be buy one! This is the best tilting system invention so far. I have search for a long time different motorbike conversions from the internet.

It doesnt appear to be that stable "mid-turn" when the rider needs to make an adjustment (imagine a whoop in the middle of a high speed turn). This thing does scream "ICE RACING" though!! Imagine what it would do on the lake with studs?!?!?! It appears to be very well engineered though, unlike other "experimental designs" and would immediatley appeal to the OEMs for consideration. WHY DO THE POWERS AT BE MAKE STREET LEGAL DIRTBIKES SO HARD TO COME BY WHEN THEY ARE BUSY SHAKING A STICK AT THE AUTO INDUSTRY. QUADS AND BIKES CAN EASILY MAKE 40MPG BUT ARENT ALLOWED ON THE ROADS....IS A RHINO WITH DOT TIRES AND SIGNALS MORE DANGEROUS THAN A CROTCH ROCKET????

Think MotoGP with out all the tire issues. I even used a Ducati to model it up. Im very glad to see someone get this far. Best of luck. Maybe in five years Ill have one parked out back.
