Looks a little clunky and heavy. I think it needs a cafe treatment.

98% of all Harleys ever sold are still on the road. The other 2% made it home.

Hehe, I'd say that is a motorcycle & a half, with twice the cornering safety yet same vulnerability we all face as a Red Sausage Monster.
Technically its a non leaning reverse trike. IIRC it got 110 hp thrust that don't wheelie and should have a seat belt for pilot stability.

Aw Harley had this one in the works in '98 and in museum now as decided not to produce it back then.

First conceived in 1998, Harley’s Penster reverse trike predates the Can-Am Spyder by almost a decade. Unlike the single-plane Spyder, the Penster’s front wheels actually lean into turns. Electro hydraulic assisted leaning

I have a vehicle from the same company, similiar body style, but it has two skis in place of the front wheels and a track in place of the rear wheel and is a lot more fun to ride.
