it's the same guy who is running the longterm J300, so he is already a scooterist sort of person.

Its still look stupid... the Fuoco had better styling.

I have never liked them and think having 3 wheels is stupid.

Three wheels very smart. You could more grip in wet and slippery conditions. I have both two and three wheel bikes and three wheeler is perfect urban commuter

Ps cut up by idiot in central london last night while filtering by an mp3 trike with a child pillion. The downside of the trikes is any muppet can ride them without training.
