Mystery tricycle

[catgate]

I was told today about a Honda tricycle scooter. Is this just another hallucination caused by funny mushrooms or did such a thing ever hit out shores? I was told it was called a Stream, but that name now seems to be attached to a People Carrier.

But no idea about shoving an engine into it Who would buy one anyway!!!!

Yes, I have seen a piccy of one. They had a single sided leading link on the front and dual back wheels. They were very close together, not so much like a trike.

Google image search for "honda stream scooter" reveals....

That looks like it. It reminds me of the old Arial/BSA 3. It looks as though the rear wheels remain vertical whilst the rest of the thing leans from a pivot directly beneath the seat. I rather fancied have a go at making one with independant rear swinging arms so that the whole machine would lead in a normal way. A nice start might be to find one of these and do some serious modification..like putting a sensible sized engine in etc.Anybody know the wherabouts one of these Hondas? Although I must admit that the examples diplayed on https://www.gijoes.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1871520 leave me a little bit disappointed!!!!

As Stinkwheel said, it's a Honda Stream.

I can't imagine they'd be too stable, with the tiny track (width between wheel centres). Even with independent rear suspension, I can't see it'd be anything but scary to go round a corner on at any speed.

I think one of the Japanese makers had something like this designed for fast food delivery. I think I saw a picture of one with Yo-Sushi plastered on it.

Found it (google is my friend). It's a Honda Gyro with canopy. Apparently this 3-wheeler tilts for cornering and it has a boot.

Apparently BAT motorcycles at Biggin Hill sell them in the UK.
