ya know, maybe I'm weird (leave it at that) but I think it is kinda cool. Not my cup of tea but very unique, to say the least.
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

That's awesome. All it needs is a belt drive.

I wonder if a belt works with a differential like that? Do modern HD trikes use the OEM style (albeit longer) belt?
I like it, the pipe runs is pretty creative. I'd love to take a spin on it. The one time I rode a trike, it felt very awkward but I guess you get used to it.

Man alive I'll bet it corners like a dog with no suspension and a solid axle; makes you wonder why anyone would take away that very best Triumph feature. Very nice to look at and the forward controls are very pretty. It's pretty funny that they re-used the rubber velocity inlets from the airbox on the carbs and kept the AI with all of the other attention to detail.

My sentiment exactly. Some people can't ride a bike for one reason or another. If, God forbid, I found myself in this position I'd want the Exile trike first, then this thing,or maybe a servicar. I'm always careful not to dis trike riders;never know when you'll see a one legged man get off one.

I agree whole heartedly, if not two then three. However, having been a sidecar owner I think I'd let these folks guide my trike plans: Mystery Trikes with their tiltster design, a trike you can actually ride in the mountains

Those are interesting... That first one the V Max, WOW that thing was hit with a bag of hammers, you couldnt give that thing to me.
Those reverse trikes makes that Triumph Trike look a whole lot better.....

I don't understand the Vmax one that leans. Isn't the benefit of a trike, say for amputees or other problems, that it doesn't fall over when you stop? I mean, why else have one?

Saw a double amputee on a reverse trike when we went to Laconia. They guy had no legs and no fear he was flying , left us in the dust.

I like that trike too, but I dont think Exile makes an ugly product period. If I were to buy a custom production line bike, Exile would be it.

I dig Exile stuff too , about the only one who makes stuff I do like. Can't stand OCC stuff and don't like most of West Coast Choppers stuff either.I also like Indian Larrys (R.I.P.)stuff and some of Billy Lanes stuff.

sometimes exile comes off a bit plain for me, at least in his reproduction models, but i bet it'd be cool to get one of those bikes at the kit price, and build it with a bit more personality.

Styling 8, engineering 3. It could use some sort of a cargo box, something like a mini model T pickup box maybe. With the AI still there and no air filter it probably won't last very long. I didn't see anything in the way of a crankcase breather filter either.
As for the 2 in front trikes, I like the older Brit cycle cars such as the Riley, and the Trihawk was OK looking. Too bad they had the bad judgment to use a Citroen engine and transaxle that the French suddenly decided not to make anymore.
