As long as there's space for 2 in line, otherwise why not get a scooter with a full fairing... and it's easy to pass a motorbike test. An idiot can do it, as I know.

Always fancied one of these

If you've got £25,000 spare you can purchase this:

From here:

The going rate seems to be about £16,000. The above example is exceptional.
 
I think they showed these on Top Gear a looong time ago. Design has changed slightly - it never used to have the enclosed cab, but other than that is the same thing. I suspect it'll never get past the 'concept' stage personally.. .

Has it got satnav and a connector for my iPod?

Aren't you familiar with steam radio?

It's a pretty hot concept.

Ah - the Piaggio MP3. They made the distance between the front wheels wide enough that they fall into the 'trike' calssification. You don't need a bike license - they can be driven on a car license - and you don't have to wear a helmet.

Only with the LT models...I have a 2008 250cc MP3, which is classified as a 2-wheel motorcycle, and requires a full bike license to ride. IMO if you ride one of the 'trike' versions without having at least taken a CBT you're asking for trouble, as they all handle exactly like a 'standard' motorcycle.

But what's the extra wheel for ? If you're leading like a bike, it's a complext lingage to do what exactly?
... But i've never tried one, so maybe some reason..

But i would get a morgan 3 wheeler ((the new one) - that's a proper trike
