I'm 64 and just got my RTS last week. Wife won't ride on 2 wheels so we had a Goldwing trike. Yes the RTS is in the mid $20,000's, but all the new Goldwing trikes around here are in the low $30,000's. The ride is much better (my wike loves it better going over railroad tracks). It's like many say, riding a jet ski or ATV. The wider front wheels are quite stable and with the ABS brakes and traction control I think it's a lot safer. For one thing this bike was designed to be what it is and is not a 2-wheeler converted to three. So all the engineering is in the original design. I'm a design engineer so that made a lot of decision for me. Can-AM has been out a few years now and I believe the designers have added some great features to the bike. On the RTS everything was standard, there's nothing else to add (except a drivers seat back) which Corbin is the only one I can find so far, or some more lights. I got the electronic shifting model and it's great to not have to keep shifting as we drive a lot in town too. One think they'll tell you over and over is it's not like a motorcycle, it has no hand brakes. The right foot brake pedal is like a car, the only brake. So if you've rode 2-wheels it will take a short time to get used to the no right hand brake lever. The 2011 style is great, I've had pictures taken riding down the road and each time at the store, someone comes up to ask about it.
