The option to remove or not is yours. As for what you read vs what I read, I took a moment and opened the link and read the article again. The only reference I noticed was to Honda ATC three wheelers from the 70s/80s which caused them huge legal issues and were designed for off road.
Please, if I missed something, let me know, but I did not read any references to other brands.
As for the NeoWing, I would consider Honda realizes the market exists, with brand loyal customers, ready to trade in a two wheel Gold Wing for something not requiring great effort to hold up, and less likely to fall in a corner. The article basically showed that Honda has filed the patents, and is focused on a leaning three wheeler. My time around Gold Wing riders that know there two wheel days are limited, indicates they like the idea of a three wheel motorcycle, but would prefer a leaner.
