Two’s company, three’s a crowd. Or is it? Yamaha’s Niken tries to blend motorcycling fun with three-wheeled stability, all while looking like a show bike for a whey powder brand. We try to make sense of this newfangled third dimension of motorcycling. [Details below]

Considering it's a touring bike, it's pretty much flickable and fun to ride, and the engine is plenty enough. It's not supposed to be a bike for old people. It's a regular bike, but with a shitload of front grip.

I went for the Niken precisely for this reason. I can not think of a better bike for use in all conditions where one actually wants to enjoy the ride and make progress. As Ryan F9 puts it, the limits are much closer in the real world and attacking a corner is one of the greatest pleasures of riding. I use the bike for pleasure as much as utility and the Niken smashes it.

The most motorised action on three wheels I've had was on a cycle, it was a cargo e-trike. It didn't have any suspension other than the tilting subframe in the front. No shock absorbers, no springs. The ride was smooth as silk, you can drive up curbs while hauling a 100 kilo load on a 25 kilo bike and always be in control. Small bumps are vanishing. But the frame lockout in a tight curve is a sensation that you really can't be ready for on the first run.

Probably the best review of any product I've ever seen. The editing is world class. Ryan is Top Gear like!

@mikef.1000 7 ай бұрын

You can only say it's a good review if you know the product yourself. I'm wondering if Ryan needs to spend some more time riding it, and rack up some serious touring kilometres. Then he just might find himself joining the mob of riders who love the Niken.

I can appreciate Yamaha for making a vehicle that gives us a glimpse into the future where cars can lean all four wheels and corner harder than a motorcycle.

@thetessellater9163 4 жыл бұрын

I sure hope not !

@calebnation7797 4 жыл бұрын

A decently setup car can corner harder than a motorcycle already... it’s just physics. My car has 4x 225 width contact patches and uses all of that. Bikes have what? 185 to 195 usually and only use a small portion of that at any point of lean

@edgeofentropy3492 4 жыл бұрын

What I should have typed is that Yamaha is giving us a glimpse into the future where cars can corner even harder.

@calebnation7797 4 жыл бұрын

Ferrous Cromagnon I think 4 flat tires will always corner harder than tilting tires of any number

I don't care for Spyder. However, if I was in the market for a 3 wheeler, I would buy a Spyder over the Niken, because Nikes is a terrible trike. Yet, if I m not in the market for a trike, I would buy a Ninja 300 over the Niken, because Niken is not a complete motorcycle. So....
