Looks like the new Yamaha 3 wheeler,called the Niken,850cc will be on sale in 2018.Not sure about the look of it,price about £11,000.Looks like they are using the same leaning system as the 125cc Tricity.Still no tilt lock or handbrake,which the the MP3 has and is very handy.Think i will be keeping my Tricity,no need for speed any more.

Re: Yamaha
It looks a very odd device....especially that each front wheel has a hefty pair of shock absorbers on the outside, but nothing on the inside! Of course, it weighs a ton as well, but with 100+bhp, this won't be such a problem! No doubt some will complain about its 'small' 15" front wheels!
Still, it'll be interesting so see what happens - its the first 3 wheel leaning bike as opposed to scooter, so one must admire Yamaha's happiness to innovate.

At £11k it's priced just below a Toyota Yaris or Peugeot 208 but would create more of an impression, looks quite a beast!
