In some circles I think this is known as a 'Forte Special':

Belongs in circus mebbe?
There was a bit of a trend to trike CX's way back
drove one once for a few minutes not impressed.

Never saw the point in trikes meself,
if I'm stuck in traffic queues on a cold rainy day, I'd rather be in a car

They are fun. I've built some, bought some. Built wifies many years back. I love them.

Good for dog transport as well. Laughing

It's a non-runner which, all things considered, is probably for the best.

I wonder what a C90 engine would pull in that? Bugger all brakes on those things as well.

Well, it'll weigh less for a start, but you'll have to set that against the gearing being massively lowered by the tiny driven wheels.

That said, when you factor in the narrow track, piddly little wheels, the steering and (lack of) brakes it'll still be fast enough to kill you, I suspect.

That ducted front brake on the Goldwing is telling me it’s a bike from the future so here’s another one.

I’ve got a weird crush for the Gilera CX125, and this one has an MOT!

Needs more colour for maximum effect though.

The CX125 looks interesting but not worth £6000 IMO
I'd rather have the Goldie for £3500

I've had every incarnation of the Goldwings from the naked 1000 to the 1800 including trikes. I absolutely adore them.

My 1800 and 1500 trike.

The Goldwing weighs nearly three times what the CX125 does. Laughing

Reminds me a bit of the IZH factory snow trike. They just used heavy duty inner tubes with fine chains round them connected to the rim.
