I have been looking at the Piaggio MP3 here in the UK which is similar but different! They cleverly put the wheels far enough apart to be classed as a trike and therefore driven on a car licence. A don't think this is the case for the Yamaha?
Enjoying 'Retirement'....So many jobs to do, I don't know how I ever had time to work!

Anyone tried the tricity yet would like some honest feedback,I am hoping they will handle the U turns a bit better especially in the wet.

I met a friend who has the Yamaha Three Wheeler. He bought it used for 65,000 Baht. I took it for a test ride and bottom line is "very stable." Even at very very slow speeds, it does not tilt over until you almost stop. Would say it is useful for those with balance issues or ladies or beginners. Turn around was same as normal and a little more stable. I liked it. I have a Honda PCX 150. Another plus is the knee room is much better than other 125cc bikes. Hope this helps those with interest. Worth a ride in my opinion if you are keen for a bike now. It also has all three wheel brakes synchronised with both sides hand brakes.
I wouldn't have to manage my anger if people could learn to mange their stupidity!
