Three wheel motorcycles are not as stable as 2-wheeled motorcycles at high corner speeds. At low speeds a trike like that would be more stable than it's two wheel brother. It has to do with the weight transfer off the rear wheel when cornering. Motorcycles and trikes transfer the weight differently than cars. Something I have been learning to deal with being a new motorcycle rider. IMHO they are better off with 4 wheels even if they are skinny.
