Quote from: adriCheck it out here.

And here's a quick translated summary:

After a thousand leaks we finally get the latest work from Piaggio, even if for now it's just a prototype. It was designed to maximize security (specifically in downhill and wet conditions), it posseses the same capacity of manuverability as it's two-wheel cousins. This "thing" (not yet having a name), can handle like a normal bike thanks to it's particular leverage system that can make the two front wheels incline parallely.
The bike will handle better over bumpy roads with holes as weight is more evenly distributed. It's better on wet land because there is less likelyhood of a slide on three wheels.
The bike (or trike?) is available in both 250cc aswell as 500cc.

im feeling strange sensations in my special place.  bet you could really scrub off some speed sliding that front end into curves.
Accelerate like your being chased, Corner like you mean it, Brake as if you life depends on it.
Ride Hard...or go home.

Its you Vs the pavement.....who wins today?

nedless to say, i want one.
The final measure of any rider's skill is the inverse ratio of his preferred Traveling Speed to the number of bad scars on his body. It is that simple: If you ride fast and crash, you are a bad rider. And if you are a bad rider, you should not ride motorcycles.

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?
