    Default Motor Trike announces a new Reverse Trike

    I just found out that Motor Trike is releasing a new Trike, their own version of a Reverse Trike, called the Prowler RT!

    http://www.motortrike.com/trikeHonda1800ProwlerRT.aspx#

    And here is their Press Release, stating that it will be unveiled and displayed at their booth at 2016 75th Anniversary of Bike Week in Daytona Beach.

    Yikes, now that would take a lot of getting used to....Pushing a lot of wind in front. Can we assume it is a front wheel drive? Didn't see that in the info.....Pretty good intro conversion price.

    I'm sure it's rear wheel drive Bill. Can-Am and Hannigans are also..

    It's another case of when the designer was finished and sent it into production, Someone didn't tap him on the shoulder and say....

    Hmmm... Of the 3 GL1800 reverse trikes I know of that are, or will be, readily available, I think I like the looks of the Sturgis RT18 best, followed closely by the Hannigan. I have seen the RT18 and the Hannigan in person, and the RT18 seems to have a shorter, more integrated nose. Haven't seen the Motor trike in person, of course, but the front end seems to be very angular compared to the rounded lines of the GL1800. Makes for a good size front trunk, though.

    Yeah but gas mileage should go in the toilet with that giant sail out front.

    With the top trunk and saddle bags intact, I wouldn't think you would need that front trunk so big... could have aero'd it down.

    This contraption makes no sense to me, but I just use logic, I'm no engineer, or designer. If it's rear wheel drive, unless it's one of those humongous special CanAm Spyder tires, it won't last any time at all. I have other concerns, but what the ho, to what end?

    Hannigan has re-designed the nose on their reverse trike and have added a storage compartment in the top. Looks slick!

    (they also have another reverse trike in the works too....)

    I know my opinion does not mean much to a corporation like Motor Trike, but I feel that they hit a home run with the Razor; but this thing is Dastardly! That's not "Dick!" Didn't they realize that aesthetics are extremely important to the sale and acceptance of a machine. I don't mean to pick on any group but maybe they intended it for use at the Bascom-Palmer Eye Institute? I would like to see the comments of the bikers that see it up close and personal at Bike Week this weekend.

    Default Regular trike vs. reverse

    For me I didn't want to go to a trike but I saw the writing on the wall and felt I needed to. So.....When riding my trike I now can't see any difference other than cornering. The view looks the same. On a reverse trike I'd be looking at 2 wheels up front and it sure wouldn't feel like a motorcycle to me.
