Gordon Trikes

Gordon Trikes is regarded a key player in the Japanese world of motor-trikes. Main design features here are the dynamically styled rear parts of their trikes which are technically identical to the ones of Trike Japan whose regional agent Gordon is.
The ultimate top model of the Gordon range is a three wheeled Hayabusa 1340 (GX72A) with double wishbones rear axle. Similar to Trike Japan custom-like or less powerful trikes are equipped with a humble live rear axle. Steering and front part are not touched and are alike on all models.

European based trike manufacturers may raise their noses but Japanese companies only serve their home market and simply don't think export business. This perhaps explains the controversy between agricultural mechanics and awesome body lines.
Next to the swift Hayabusa hawk model, Gordon also sells a Yamaha Vmax 1200 adaptation as well as a Harley-Davidson E-Glide / Road King version plus cruiser type models like Yamaha's Drag Star. Alongside those models the ultimate six-cylinder Honda, in various types, also comes into their showrooms. But this perhaps is another SidecarNews story.
