FAO Motorbike peeps.

Post by Zonda_ »

What is the advantage/purpose of the Yamaha Niken? I don’t know of any others similar but for those unaware it is the one with 2 wheels at the front.

The claims are the increased front grip gives confidence and agility bla bla. I think its their way of trying to entice car drivers onto bikes too.

I just see excess weight, cost, complexity, lots of joints to wear out.. and its fvck ugly to boot.

I don't find the front end grip on one wheel all that lacking tbh, but I guess I'm not the target audience.

Holy crap that's ugly, I thought you were on about those 3 wheel scooters at first, didn't realise there's an actual bike with that setup.
How about not having a sig at all?
