Will it catch on?

I do hope so

I think that may be the coolest thing i've ever seen

Clever engineering, be good for shopping or commuting but wouldn't want to tour Europe on it.

Could also, perhaps, be useful for some disabled riders.

Thinking about it, when I'm sufficiently f--ked to need a spaz chariot, I'd rather have something like that.

It's only a prototype and apparently things have been moved about to show off the suspension etc. Also that only has a 400cc engine - I'd love one but it would need a bit more than that! Would need it to catch on I reckon, to appeal to bikers, as there's already a couple of fairly stable 3 wheel scoots that work on the same principle of wheels close together and ability to lean.

So sort of an MP3 or Fuoco but with an extra rear wheel.

They seem to be well received by those that try them - though you don't see many about - I guess this 4 wheeler would fare much the same.

I'd like a go

That's what I'll be riding when I can't manage a motorcycle (which will hopefully be for many years yet)... It looks great, huge fun and I really, really hope he gets it into production.

I love my trike, but I do miss leaning! And overtaking but with only 400cc this isn't going to help there.

Depends on the motor i suppose. Davina had a Suzi 400 bandit variable valve. That thing was rapid and topped out at an indicated 120mph.
