More than any other motorcycle thing that isn't a Harley. I guess all

Some are rentals but there seem to be a lot that are privately owned.
(tricked up paint and screw on doodads). They must have a very
aggressive dealer here. There are also at least 3 Harley shops nearby.

They sell well here in my locale, but I never saw much future in one for myself. If you want a motorcycle get one, if you want a convertible, get one. To me, these are like a For Ranchero or a Chevy El Camino. They weren't a good car and they weren't a good truck, but they looked cool...


They just don't look like they'd be fun to drive or easy to drive on a nice twisty. Seems like it
would be a lot like running a sidecar rig, always worrying about the inside tire coming off the
ground on a sharp curve.


These things do seem pretty stable. They were keeping up with me ;-)


I'm thinking it would be very dependent on the road. But, not having driven one, I could well be
wrong. It *seems* like a motorcycle would do better in the twisties.
