Just got to see this about Yamaha

[Dogdaze]

Below is a YT link to the Japanese MC show, this one features Yamaha product, very cool stuff, especially the gyroscopic controlled bike that thinks it's a dog!

Yamaha seems pretty sure that there is a demand for three wheels at all levels. For people that want to ride, but can't handle two wheels?

There is, but choice has been very limited up until now, I bet there are many less confident potential riders out there and this allows them to ride a bike, not a three wheeler, but a machine that leans and exerts the same forces as a two wheel variant. Now when it comes out with a DCT, and cruise I think I may be in line waiting. Years ago there was a French company that made something called a 'Scarver'?? or Carver. anyway that was a bike engine in a leaning three wheeler, but waaaay over priced.

So many bikes to try, so little time....and money :'(

To me, the Niken almost looks sentient. The FJR has heavy slow speed handling. I'm wondering if the Niken does also, or did Yamaha figure out how to lighten it. I would still like to try it out.

I want a Niken. My wife saw it and said she'd ride it for sure. That's how I'm gonna get an fz09 motor in my garage.

I like the honeycomb wheel on the back of that electric bike.
