Precisely.
Hubby just sold his original “The Reaper” trike to a guy and he’s happy as a clam with it.
He shows it to death and wins every time but he’s not the hard rider hubby is.
The trike looked awesome but driving it was tiring for him.
He bought a Night Train to replace it and redid it just like the old The Reaper but used an 8-over front end instead of a 10.
It may not look as radical but it handles much better and we can ride a lot longer without his back bothering him.
This is the old Reaper:

Personally, I go screaming crazy when we enter shows.
I want to *ride*...not sit around for 4 hours watching people look at my ride.
I wish I could still ride. :( Getting old (42) and a really bad ankle make it unsafe now.
You probably wouldn’t like my type of bikes though, i rode foreign stuff, never did like the harleys or S&S motored type stuff. More into touring and sport bikes after I got done with the atv’s and off-road stuff killing myself in the woods.
Be well,

In my opinion, in terms of stock bikes, the Suzuki Boulevard M-50 is the best looking bike I've seen. As far as reliability, I have no idea but then again nobody seems to be chopping them up.
IMHO, trikes were made for extended forks. Keeps the turn slow and easy.
I’ve got baby apes on my Softail. They are as comfortable as a recliner. I call it a “rockin’ chair situation”.
