Harley Davidson 3 wheel Trikester / Carver

Harley Davidson, having toyed with the idea of a 3 wheeler since 2006 and had filed numerous patents for such concepts, will be showing this Trikester or Carver (no official name yet, but that's how such vehicles were dubbed) in an upcoming event in Germany. We've always wondered what category should these bikes belong to, cars or motorcycles? As we know even the cheapest China made tin cans that demolished itself in crash tests are safer than the most technologically advance, most expensive motorcycles, hence when motorcycle niche markets expands to 3 wheelers or 4 wheelers, and to have canopies or a lightweight roof above them, it would be a task for lawmakers to decide how to enforce safety standards into these vehicles. Nonetheless, these new stuffs are cool aplenty.
