Okay so 3-wheelers aren’t exactly motorcycles, but most offer a similar experience far removed from that of driving a car. Models like Can-Am’s Spyder can make decent (albeit expensive) alternatives for some people that really want the open air sensation of riding a motorcycle but can’t quite come to terms with handling one.
This is Honda’s 3R-C concept vehicle, a battery-powered electric 3-wheeler designed for urban transport. The canopy cover moves forward and becomes a windshield when it’s actually in use. It was designed by Honda’s R&D facility in Milan, so it’s easy to imagine they have dense, car-unfriendly cities in mind with this concept. I’d definitely use it to pick up some groceries… if there’s anywhere to stow them.
