Pretty Cool
One day this spring when I was wandering the web for Spyder information, I came across a u-tube video of a news piece on San Diego TV about the fellows three wheeler. It said it would be available for sale later this year at the $55K number you mention. Looks like he made it, but a day late and a dollar short as the Spyder is a complete package, this is not. I basically looks like the three wheeler Harley patented, except it does not lean. BRP went to a TON of effort to overcome the potential safety issues of a three wheeler, this one does not address those issues, which could end up a big problem for them in the end.
I am curious what you think of the "look" of this three wheeler. It would be relatively straight forward to make a kit for the Spyder with this "look".... heck, it is close to it out of the crate, before the front storage is added

It seems quite a bit longer, and wider, and he did slide sideways to a stop in the video.
It has the Harley Davidson sound, and he does ride it real hard and fast so I believe it performs well.
I guess I would have to ride it to have a real opinion.
At the moment I could buy 4 spyders for one of these, so its a no brainer.
I like the "bare" styling quite a bit.....

I am in San Diego, I have seen it... it is outstanding..
This trike handles amazing. You should have seen this guy ride it. No traction control but it drifts and powerslides with seemingly high precision. Notice how high the front suspension is. The super low center of gravity and the geometry make this thing a gas to watch.
Personally, I would never ride it. Too much for me.
Find a video if you can ans watch this thing.
