Its 2019 and the weather is heating up. The pools and beaches are packed and everywhere you look , people are talking about their favorite threesomes. A three way!
Two in the front, one in the back. One in the front and two in the back. Front back with one off to the side. Talking about WHEELS!
Out of the box thinking and progressive design have us seeing some long standing concepts morph into some radical designs. Three wheeled motorcycles have been around for decades. Many , many decades. Early combat motorcycles with a side car or funky fiberglass trikes with VW engines in the back. This year however, there are 3 of these moto threesomes that seem to be holding everyone’s attention.
Top threesomes -Lets take a peek behind the curtain:
- The Yamaha Niken. This may be the most IN YOUR FACE of the three sexy beasts this summer. The progressive and unique design put this machine all alone on the stage. Based on a MT09 platform, the unique front end with its uncharacteristic lean (3 wheeled bikes DON’T LEAN). According to Yamaha, its classified as a Sport Touring machine. No doubt she’s a bit heavy , but is set up for hours of steady pounding. Since she’s new to the scene, there will be many reviews and videos coming.
- Harley Davidson Tri Glide. The old lady that’s been around the block. She knows how to please and is built for the long haul. Harley knows how to put them together. Solid, sleek, and full of might. This is a can-do three wheel’d bike.
- Can-Am Spyder. This two up front concept came on strong back in 2007 and has stayed on the front page year after year. She knows how to draw attention . The problem is, she’s not much of a “motorcycle”. Just too much of a car like experience. Just open air. No doubt though, this one would give you some fun. Another perk is that because of its ease of control and potential safety appeal, the bike attracts many people that would never atually get into motorcycles in the the first place. Well done Can-Am
These are my picks for threesomes of 2019. There are others to choose from. Have a preference? Share it in the comments.
