Here's a couple of pictures of my current trike:

Can you lean with that trike going around corners ? They make a three wheeled scooter (500 cc ) like your trike and the front wheels lean when taking a corner.

No it's not a 'leaning trike', it steers like a car. *I've printed off information about trikes that utilize 'lean steering' -- I'll see if I can find it and then post it.
I printed something like 2,500 pages off the internet about recumbent trikes back in 2005. *I'm currently planning on manufacturing a recumbent trike with an enclosed body on it. *Google 'velomobiles' -- you'll be amazed at what they're building in Europe.
Mine is so damn cool to ride, I've had it up to 30mph on a flat road, steers real easy, turns in a 12' diameter circle. *It weighs 45 lbs, wheelbase of 43", track of 32", 27 speed, disc brakes. *Right now I've got about $1,500 invested in it -- with the body and electric assist I'll probably have $2,500-$3,000 in it.

In the left column click on these: *Mango, Go-one, Versatile and Alleweder -- these are all too cool! *I've got a pro-type body built for my trike. *I'm seriously thinking about manufacturing my own -- Liberty Trike - HPC (Human Powered Conveyance)

Baccura Sport Trike: http://kb7mxu2.home.mindspring.com/images/baccura.jpg
This is a lean steering trike. The Baccura is steered by the use of body weight transfer. Its two piece frame design actually articulates to allow steering when you lean into a turn.

I like the bike and also the links to other bikes like the velomobile, which I've seen before. I've actually given some consideration to a bike like this, but I'm over 50 and work 35 miles from home, so that would be quite a workout to and from work. And in the Oklahoma heat this summer, I'm not sure, but I think I'd need quite a shower when I arrived at work.
