It's a great machine. Traction control, stability control, abs, throttle by wire. corners like mad. Available trailer hitch and trailer. Far better than a typical trike.
Tons of storage on the touring model. The Rotax motor is bullet proof.
I'm only 70, but when I get too old for the HD's , I will get one of those.

Are these things safe? I was considering buying one for my wife but the last time I saw a guy on a 3 wheeler he about came off of it during a simple lane change at 70mph on the interstate ( it turned quick ). It was not a Can Am and had 2 wheels in the rear but was wondering if two up front made a difference as far as handling and saftey. I like to lean into a turn myself.

Actually, if I can no longer hold up my bike I would consider a 3 wheeler, but I'll wait until HD brings out their version with 2 wheels in front next year.

So they do handle better with the wheels up front?

It has been a great ride for sure.
My 2008 Ultra would have been two years old this month.
I had 20K miles on it and I was at the metric store to pick up my Amsoil,
they have it for $9 a qt vs Harley's price of $14.
Anyways, I was in the store and they had all these Can-Ams around and
I laughed, but then the sales guy said they were getting ready to take some test rides and did I want to join them.
I said sure why not, BIG mistake.
The thing rode great, stable, smooth....
Well I was sold, they gave me a GREAT price for my bike and the rest is history.
Thanks for the memories, it has been a fun ride.

I wouldn't own one but I damn sure want to ride one. Of course I'll ride anything new if I get a chance!
