Yamaha for seniors

One day, when I grow up, I just might buy one of these. A bunch of the press covering the Tour De France are using them.

NIKEN GT - motorcycles - Yamaha Motor

I once did a short test drive on it, it feels bulky at first, but it steers surprisingly well, but you don't want to be seen on it. So it doesn't sell here at all. IMO it’s not a real motorcylce.
Instead it‘s an all weather vehicle, that’s one of the reasons it’s been used in de Tour.
And yes, it will fall over when standing still, it’s not a Piaggio. it was a bit of a laugh when someone did also a testdrive but let it fall over when he thought it would stay right up… auwch.

And yes, you could do track days with it and you wouldn't even be slow, prove this guy:

I still want a Can-am Ryker...with a Busa engine, and there's a shop that's been doing just that for over a year now too!

LOL, I ride with a buddy who has one of those. It’s not for me though, might as well get a convertible and ride with the top down.

I've seen one or two at dealerships but have never seen a Niken on the road, interesting concept but seems over engineered and complex.

I'll stick with motorcycles, they're more fun, easier to get up on the curb, easier to park, easier to dodge potholes with and you can fit more side by side in the garage.

I wish you indefinitely plenty of "fuel" (health and longevity), and if I can be so bold, that you cease riding only out of boredom!
