There seem to be a lot of opinions here and I really must say alot of them I don't really care for. Here's my opinion and take it for what's it's worth. I'm building a trike out one of my R*'s as we speak.I think it's the way to go rather then buy something else. You can convert your bike into a trike with reverse for under $10,000. You can't buy a trike for that kind of money. So it only makes sense to convert yours.

G.W. trike is going to cost you a fortune. Trikes are safe I don't care what any one says.You can't compare the old 3 wheel ATV's to a trike that is built for the road. If a trike is built right with the right amount of trail it will handle as well as a motorcycle.

I have been riding legally for 40 years. I have ridden trikes along with motorcycles and I will tell you that before I ever think of giving up my love of being in the wind I will ride a trike. You can't compare a sports car to a motorcycle it's just not the same.

Howie if you truly love to ride convert your motorcycle to a champion trike with reverse. You will be safe on it you won't have to worry about dropping the bike ever again. If I feel safe with the love of my life riding a trike I see no reason why you could not do the same. I fully intend to be riding a trike when the time comes.
