Not the prettiest thing I've ever seen but very creative and I love the fact that it's not something you'd see every day.  I think if he changed the front plastic, in the middle, and made it flow back into the bike it would be much better.  I'd also get rid of the 2 up seat and go with a cafe or sport bike tail.  That's just my opinion though.

I don't know... I've ridden the Can-Am Spyder and that is pretty fun ride. I've got to imagine that this one won't be nearly as sophisticated, but along the same idea.

I think he brought the front end out too far and that center plastic piece had got to go. I would have to see it in person to praise or trash it any further.

 I like the concept, though.

The fenders should be changed as well..if he had the skill to build it i cant see why he couldnt have taken the time to make a more sutable front end from fiberglass..hell thats one time a full vetter windjammer would have worked very well to form the front of that machine..

Looks to me like he saw something in a popular science magazine and tried to copy it and got in over his head. Either way he wasted a good Honda doing it. :( Hopefully someone with some good sense will get it cheap and fix his mistake. :) Can't even give him credit for a different idea, because it turn out so fugly. Trying to be different isn't always a good idea.

           First off, the "Reverse Style" 3-wheeler has an awkward  look to me (and others, I'm sure). That being said, I agree with those I've quoted, I feel that some better thought on the front end bodywork, would help the LOOK immensely. I'm not much for the reversed 3-wheeler lok but, feel that credit is deserved for effort. Just wish MORE of the EFFORT was used on the bodywork. BTW, I've got a 79' CB750K that has had a rear atv setup put on it and I'm not so sure about keeping that one as is. It wasn't dressed up though and soon as I can get pictures, I'll post them. Be forewarned  though, it's NOT pretty. ::)
