<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Can-Am’s Spyder has been around for a few years now, as have the blueprints for a ‘reversed trike’ bearing Harley-Davidson’s mark in the US Patent Office, but it’s another company in Wisconsin that have taken Harley’s V-Rod and come up with this hot rod of a three wheeler: a veritable Morgan with handlebars.<\/p>\n
Sold as a kit, attached without modifying the frame \u2013 it looks like the detachable lower frame loops are swapped for new ones that take the frame forwards to the suspension mounts and steering rack \u2013 the Scorpion will be available in the US in Spring 2015 for about $5k on top of your V-Rod, and it looks well thought-out, even down to moving the radiator and its familiar shroud to the front of the vehicle.<\/p>\n
Of course the Harley patent is for a banking trike, which would add another dimension \u2013 and a much appreciated one, if my experience of the Spyder was anything to go by \u2013 and with the Spyder, Polaris’ new Slingshot, Morgan’s M3W and now this could open up a completely new sector!<\/p>\n
There will undoubtedly be those who will ask why? To them there is but one answer: why not?<\/p>\n
