When I hit that age, I'll get a Can-Am Spider. I think 2 wheels in the front is more stable. Plus it's much lighter and more nimble, almost like a performance quad.
Those that have never tried one will criticize them though and tell you how bad they are. They have no clue about how much fun they are to ride. Of all the bikes I've had and ridden, my trike is probably my all around favorite.
As I get older, I absolutely DO see the appeal of a trike. Once I retire, there will come a day when (Ole Lady included) I don't feel like balancing 900+ Lbs at stops anymore. Bring on the trike!
Harley will release more trike models IMHO. Harley has always appealed to a slightly older crowd. Now, that slightly older crowd, is moving into and past retirement stage. The older we get, the more demand there will be for these models.
