I like the trikes that Tilting MotorWorks makes, they lean like a regular motorcycle and the trike locks in a upright position when at a stop or very slow moving...the kit is $13,000 plus install though

what about saving 10-15K and getting a USED goldwing trike.  They can be had easily under 20K total for a trike.  6 is still better than 2 right?  (cylinders)  plus has reverse gearing something I would REALLY want with a trike. 

does the kawi trike have reverse gear?

yes goldwing trikes can be had for a reasonable price, but iv'e worked on 1500 and 1800 goldwings, and trust me i'd sooner take an ass woopin than work on them.
theres alot of reasons i will not own a goldwing.
i hate working on them
iv'e set on goldwings and i felt cramped, like everything was pushed back onto me.
honda is very proud of their plastic anymore i can't imagine what it would cost to replace some of it.
5 and 1/2 hours to replace an air filter, na i'll pass.
6 hours to remove the forks, rebuild them and get them back in, na i'll pass again.
and yes i can get reverse on the kaw.
