Ever hear of or see a motorcycle with three or more in-line wheels?
I'm using the term "in-line" just to make sure it's not confused
with a sidecar or whatever. In other words, a motorcycle with at
least one additional wheel in between the front and back wheels.
Keywords or links would be greatly appreciated, if any. Thanks.

The effect of a third tire is probably worse than putting a 12-inch
wide racing slick on the back of a conventional machine, the front
tire cannot produce enough force at the contact patch to make the
motorcycle turn.
The three-wheeled motorcycle in the video clip seems to have a
*steerable*
rear wheel though. That's indicated by text on the screen.
Maybe it will do S-curves at speed, but the clip doesn't show the
motorcycle
operating by counter-steering, only by direct steering at low speed.

It said "The worlds first in-line three wheeler", but I seem to recal seeing
a Hyabusa that had been "three wheeled" by some goomer in septicland.
