Seen one for sale before but it wasn't as neat as that one. Looks like a 400 to me but I stand to be corrected.

Having had sidecars and test ridden a TransAM, I'd need a very specific reason to trike a 400cc scooter 🤔

Handling aside (a massive urge to go straight on is why aeroplanes use this configuration and nothing else does), I'd want to know what's under the body work. You can probably get a Reliant axle, but I knew a chap who's Harley front was joined to his Volkswagen rear with parts last used by Frazer-Nash in the 1930's. Needless to say parts suppy wasn't click and collect 🫣

Price however would maybe make it a decent last fling for someone with mobility issues who just wanted something to get out on. Move the decimal point if you want three wheels with handling. One of the reasons I gave up. Paperwork is the other, it isn't like insuring and MOT-ing a Vauxhall Corsa.

seen a few pics of Burgman 650 trikes "over the pond", they use car rear ends, interesting but not for me.
Im not a gynecologist, but I dont mind taking a look.

Not sure about Trikes, but a pal used to have lovely 650 Burgman Sidecar outfit, which went really well; despite some adverse comments, outfits are great fun when you get the hang of Driving them. The aforementioned pal only got rid of the Burgman Outfit when expensive corrosion around the Radiator rendered it uneconomical to repair, he now makes "Good Progress" on an RE Himmy with a trials type sidecar.
