Its a Yamaha Tricity 300 .. You don't even have to do your CBT to ride one if you have a car licence!

@Jasonleebrown You're also entitle to ride a moped up to 50cc. No need to display L plates.

The french seem to love them, so, so many in Paris. I actually had a taxi ride on one through the center to catch a flight, immense levles of grip.

Yea. Bit of a beast is that yam thing!
loosing the front will be difficult, and wont fall over unlike a very expensive and unnecessary complication of a nikken, cheaper service, running cost not needing a full licence. At least it uses the benefit of a double radius tyre profile (front and rear) to help steer and agility. Its much smaller and lighter profile while being accommodating. 

 

the Harleys trike positive aspect is that it uses car tyres on the rear for wear and straight line stability but your always asking so much more from the front to try and steer because the rear doesn’t really want to work like (and its weight bias is very much at the rear) that so its a stubborn mule of two half’s. more similar to a reliant robin in many ways and we all know how well that can go.

 

if it was just me in my situation with a choice of the two, id go with the tri city.

For sure. The Yam thing leans, so I'd imagine you can have some proper fun on it.
