Looks like some kind of demonic mobility scooter.

Probably a hoot to ride though.

That looks like it could be a laugh. Not sure it'd be enough of a laugh to warrant losing the ability to filter though.

I'd like to see a front on view. Reminds me of Darth Vader though.

I do ask myself. On a motorcycle producing 115bhp, is loss of FRONT wheel traction the main concern?

I love this thing. It's evil, unique and it looks ridiculous.

Depending how the front of this is set up, you could still slide the back and keep the front planted so the back wouldn't step out like normal. Also hitting the front brake in that case wouldn't cause instant insurance claims. Still beneficial.

For bikers who have suffered accidents and can't hold up a normal bike, it could be perfect. Saves them butchering old goldwings.

It looks destined to appear in a Sci-Fi film at some point.
I'd test ride it out of curiosity, doubt I'd bother to own one though.

I hate the so called filterable scooter based versions of this 3wheel crap, let alone a bike.

If I needed a trike for medical reasons, mine would always have two big fat wheels at the back, a Beer barrel for a fuel tank, and something like a Rover V8 on bike carbs to enjoy. I can't see how an MT-09 Trike could be better than my vision for a trike in any way!

It's a concept machine, next year it'll be back in the parts bin like 99% of concepts.

advantages? You'll be the centre of attention when you arrive at the Judge Dredd convention.

Based on the very careful editing of the video, I think Dawn French has more lean on her.

I'd take one out for a blat, why not. It might be awesome but you won't know unless you try one.
You'll certainly be noticed.
