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]

I Love My Niken! As an older rider who hasn't been on a bike in 30 years, I feel extremely confident on the twisties with all that traction up front. Have found myself leaning it over way more than I would have thought I ever would, just because it feels so smooth and natural.

i've test ridden this bike yesterday. It's phenomenal. The front end makes you forget you're riding a bike. It has the grip of a car basically. 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’m always impressed with your logical analysis and foresight. this episode is no exception. i test rode niken and felt the same. it really could be a killer in a few years if yamaha wants to. this front wheel stability can truly be a game changing means for those who want to go faster rather than safer.

@maclef70 2 года назад

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.

Brilliant video,better than television editing,fortnine should have its own show 👍

@keshified 4 года назад

I just wanna give you credit for the way you made this video. The editing, writing, and direction is superb--like Top Gear of old. Highly enjoyable on that alone!

@tommysrp7635 3 года назад

That intro was not what I expected for my first random motorcycle video but you got yourself a new viewer haha

@edgeofentropy3492 4 года назад

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 года назад

I sure hope not !

@calebnation7797 4 года назад

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 года назад

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

@calebnation7797 4 года назад

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

When a bike can corner harder then a car?:)))) rly man?

The spyder does things the niken doesn't though. You're comparing apples to meat pies.

Or a Honda pacific coast. I’m sure there are a lot of crappy things worse than this.

@VasyaIvanovichPupkin 4 года назад

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....

@kbishop94 3 года назад

The great shots, edits, cuts, content and dialogue and overall fantastic production puts the big professional studios with their massive budgets to shame... (and even thst doesn't sufficiently capture just how good fortnine's videos are... theyre in a class all their own. )
