Like my Ducati riding friend said when the spyder came out,
"Great, now you can ride a motorcycle and sleep at the same time."
Only more so with this one...

we're going to start seeing a lot more 3 wheelers coming out, especially with the dawn of alternative vehicles like electric cars.
Simple reason is licensing- they all fall under motorcycles which means no expensive and heavy "unneeded" components (like airbags and emissions) cheaper registration and easy access to the US market for manufacturers

Yeah, true, but did you see that approving 'Bro' nod from the guy in the BMW, and the chick checking him out ? I want some of THAT - Worth the decapitation risk, IMO.
