Those all have two in the front and one in the rear. Is there anything preferable about that over the other way around, as with Harley?

2 wheels in back is a suicide machine at any sort of speed. Turning while braking is a really bad idea on them. hell, just turning sharply without braking is a bad idea.

Was thinking of a lame federal safety study on kid's trikes. They concluded after spending mucho tax payer money that two wheels in back and one for steering is unstable. I guess it would be even more so at say 50 MPH.

I had a 1986 Honda 200X ATC like this and it was a lot of fun. However, it can be very dangerous if you try to ride it like a dirt bike... which I did sometimes. It was perfect for Pensacola Beach when the police weren't nearby and the back woods of Florida and lower Alabama on the trails.

I remember being told, "There is nothing like a 2 wheeler." Sold it then bought a CR-125, an XR-600R, and a CRF-450R and don't miss the 3 wheeler experience.

Years later, I saw those Can-Am's being marketed and I imagined only fat slobs would like the Cam-Am since they're stable with 2 wheels in front. Sure enough, there are these fat slobs out there thinking they're real bikers and that they're somehow cool riding them.

Yeah I know... the shit trolls are now upset that I called them out for owning Can-Ams before I get their predictable responses in 3...2...1...

Seriously. I don't disagree with a word of it.
