These have not flown off the sales forecourts in the UK. The benefit for me is that I bought a new one for 2/3rds the list price. Also, I've not seen another one on the road as yet, so I love the quirky rareness of this beast. Today I did a 20 mile round trip just to buy some Bacofoil. That's how addictive it is. The only minor minus is that it has a bit of an engine pitch whine and it lacks the grunt of my BMW R1200 RT, but my Niken GT gets chosen for outings more than my Beemer.

I bought one, and you're dead right ...about everything. I've been riding on and off road for 40+ years and it's a revelation. It's like a carving goldwing ...only better. Fairing sucks but I can fix that probably.

After 10 months and 10K miles it’s still the “go to” bike in the garage.

How would you compare the Niken to the Piaggio MP3 500? Which do you think is better and why?

Watched several reviews and everyone rants about it in every regard, yet I come away thinking it's going to be one of those bikes that everyone loves, yet knowbody will buy, and that's too bad.
