Yamaha's Niken 3 Wheeler - Motorcycle
- Thread starter I.P. Freely
- Start date
uhhhh, no
Just get a Big Wheel.
From Yamaha: "The Niken will open up riding to a new range of people, and will surely prove to be a worthy steed for riders with varying levels of disability who can’t operate a conventional motorcycle"
I guess if you ride a lot on wet, slick roads it could have it's advantage's too. I wouldn't mind trying it out to see how it rides / handles, but I'll stay on two.
Give Yamaha credit for trying something different even though I don't think it'll do well in America?
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for innovation . HelI think weird stuff is cool haha. I guess they are trying to branch into the spider market? I've driven a spider and it's pretty cool. I would absolutely want to ride one of these just to see but the set up to me is weird....
EDIT: I did not see that they were trying to open up the market for disabled riders. Guess I should have read the whole thing before I opened my fat mouth.
Still cool and weird!
Look at the other 3 wheelers on the market. I'd like to try one, just to see what it feels like. At least in traffic you can keep your feet up, and you might be a bit less likely to lose the front end on the laughable excuse for roads we have around here.
Can it corner low? Doesn't look like you would be able to get a knee down, but I haven't seen it in action yet.
Weird looking
