2018 · Touring
The 2018 Lehman Vintage emerges from a lineage known for its classic styling and touring capability, representing a significant model year for the brand. This trike, while unique in its three-wheeled configuration, competes directly with two-wheeled touring machines like the Harley-Davidson Road King and the Indian Chieftain, offering a different proposition for riders seeking stability and long-distance comfort. The Vintage model emphasizes a retro aesthetic combined with modern reliability, appealing to those who appreciate heritage design without sacrificing contemporary riding dynamics.
At the heart of the Lehman Vintage 2018 beats the Thunder Stroke® 111 engine, an air-cooled V-twin unit displacing a substantial 1811.00 ccm (110.51 cubic inches). This powerhouse generates a robust 151.00 Nm (15.4 kgf-m or 111.4 ft.lbs) of torque, readily available at a low 2100 RPM. This impressive torque figure ensures effortless acceleration and strong passing power, even when fully loaded for a long trip. Fuel capacity stands at a generous 20.80 litres (5.50 gallons), providing ample range between fuel stops, a crucial factor for a touring machine.
Riding the Lehman Vintage is characterized by its stable, planted feel, a direct benefit of its three-wheel design. The low-slung seat height of 673 mm (26.5 inches), measured at its lowest setting if adjustable, makes for easy mounting and confident flat-footing at stops. This combination of a low center of gravity and the Thunder Stroke® 111's smooth power delivery contributes to a relaxed and comfortable touring experience. The trike's design inherently offers increased stability compared to a two-wheeler, which can be particularly appealing for long hauls and varied road conditions.
The Lehman Vintage 2018 is squarely aimed at the touring enthusiast who prioritizes stability, classic styling, and a comfortable, confident ride over outright cornering prowess. It caters to riders who appreciate the heritage look and the potent, low-end torque of a large V-twin engine for covering significant distances. For those seeking a distinctive touring platform that blends vintage appeal with a secure and powerful ride, the Lehman Vintage presents a compelling option within the touring category.
