The plus

It seems like everyone was trying to develop three-wheeled personal transport in the 70s and 80s. There was the infamous Sinclair C5, the equally disastrous Ariel 3 'trike of terror'. But Honda did something different. Something much, much better.

The Stream stood out from its three-wheeled counterparts in a unique way. The rear wheels articulated on corner entry, solving the balance problem that caused its rivals to fail. Honda would later use the same concept with great success for the Gyro.

Today, the Stream is very rare, which is why we are delighted to present this highly original example from 1986. We are assured that this tricycle has been well looked after over the years, benefiting from annual servicing by the owner. The recent addition of new tyres, seat cover and battery ensures that this vehicle is ready for its next adventure.
