Not my cup of tea but interesting. Yamaha also has a 3 wheel leaning concept - MWT-9 that can also be found on Youtube.

At least it looks more fun and exciting than a Sypder or Slingshot, would have better reliability as well!
Interesting to say the least. I wouldn't own one, not a practical lane splitter IMO, I would take a test ride on one though.
I recall the post(s) from Riot Girrrl who was injured in a crash (if I'm remembering it correctly) and lost use of her legs. She and her S.O. modded a bike for her so she could balance at a stop. Something like this would be perfect for someone who's lost use of their legs - it balances on its own, but because it leans it's still more like riding on 2 wheels than a trike. Probably not a huge market for that particular need - but if you need it, a great benefit.
And lets be honest, the motorcycling community is getting older faster than its getting younger unfortunately. I would ride this over a GW or HD trike.
I test rode a Piaggio MP3 several years ago when my wife was looking at them. They have three wheels and tilt, and it was kind of fun, although it was much heavier than I thought it would be. I didn't ride it very far, just around the neighborhood, but a very interesting experience. From the looks of it the Neowing would be preferable to a Spyder, which would be preferable to any other 3-wheeler.
When I get too old to balance or hold the bike up at standstill (I'm 66 - possibly not that far away) this would beat the heck out of not riding at all.
Who knows? If we all continue riding until the end, perhaps we'll ride and have meet-ups for Honda Sport Touring Wheel Chairs. VFO800F (V-Four Old). (The F stands for Fart!)
