Hardley a Davidson!!
Well a lovely Trike ...if u like that kind of thing...personally I do not.
BUT impossible IMO to compare with the M3W - just different beasts altogether.

Harley Davidson make a superb trike for around the £28k mark. Beautifully made, a real work of art and they really know how to produce a top notch machine. In my humble opinion a much better buy than a M3W.  If you mean this it is Hardley the same thing as a reverse trike car. It's more like something that Arnold Schwarzenegger might use to transport his sticks around a Californian golf club without ever exceeding 10mph. For that, it would undoubtedly be fit for purpose.

Peter,
As the chassis isn't cracked the key question is ...
Is the chassis work at the instigation of the owner, the dealer or the factory ?
I'm sure owners of the early cars would be interested to find out.
My understanding is that the supplying dealer is the catalyst in all warranty work. It is also my understanding, based on other posts, that the factory has added capacity to allow them to deal with this additional rectification work.

BUT impossible IMO to compare with the M3W - just different beasts altogether. Indeed! I was told that they were originally developed as delivery vehicles and for use by the Police but morphed into fashion toys.I assume they corner like a Reliant Robin.

"I assume they corner like a Reliant Robin."
I've never ridden a trike like this, but I suspect that because all the weight distribution is in the centre, they actually corner very well, the Reliants' problem was having a driver, sitting outside the triangle formed by the front and back wheels.

Trikes have a very real stability problem. I have seen a Guzzi Ercole trike tip over with a load of kids on it. Fortunately no serious consequences. They are very useful and can cary tremendous loads and many are still in use in this area, however they were never built for fast cornering.  Old HFS Morgan knew what he was doing when he created his reverse trike.
