Strange motorbike.

Just seen a strange motorbike.

Now, I've seen motorbikes with two back wheels and one front wheel.....they've been around for yonks.

Today, though, I saw one with two front wheels, very close together so that I only just noticed them, and one back wheel.

At first glance it looked like just a swish motorbike, with fairings, etc.

Then I did the proverbial double-take, and stepped back two paces to have another look.

Very interesting, so I shall go and google...........


Edit......it would seem it is a Piaggio MP3 and has been around for ages!

The photo wouldn't embed.

Here's a nice Yamaha:

That's nice! And less like a scooter!

I'm not sure that I'd like the tilting on two wheels:

Re: Strange motorbike.

Yes; it would handle very differently, I expect.

Still, one could but try!

Re: Strange motorbike.

Awful looking things imo.
Much rather keep my normal ones.

Re: Strange motorbike.

I wonder if the rise of trikes is anything to do with the fact that if you obtained a car licence before 2013 you can ride one without passing a motorcycle test and the increasing number of hoops you have to jump through to get a bike licence for a big bike>

Re: Strange motorbike.

That is a fact Ray.
