Can you imagine living your life to the point that you don’t buy a bike because you are worried about what people will think. It’s all of the fun and none of the worry of the bike slipping away beneath you. I’ve got a tricity and can’t wait to upgrade to a niken when I can.

Well done to Yamaha for making it!...I went to my local dealer to see the bike as I would like one and asked them about luggage and would GIVI be making a pannier rack!..well a week later Yamaha came oùt with the GT..so now I will be waiting till next year!.

How many of the people who slag it off have actually ridden It?

2024 Yamaha Niken GT, That's for Me!

[@roseysnapper]

Great vid, looking forward to seeing your story. This bike (especially in GT form) really interests me. I don't care what others think of me or it; the tech's cool!

i had a 500cc piaggio mp3 maxi scooter ....rode with my mate who has a 1000cc fireblade to an event and he simply couldn't keep up around corners sub 60mph.ok he flew past on the straights but he had to brake so hard for every bend i was back on him again...they handle superb and saved me on 1 occasion...with the paiggio it will oversteer if you push it beyond its limits ,,,ease off the throttle and the front comes back in.i suspect this bike is the same

Great series of films, these diaries, thank you. Really liking that Niken too......

[@steve-wu7jp]

Nice video Mr Milbank! You are one of the first to do a long term review. Thanks for giving us the first hand information on this unique machine. I’m not in the market for one but I’d love to ride one . Here is to Yamaha taking chances instead of doing the same old thing .

[@teemac5246]

Many Thanks for answering the filter question.

[@OldDogZeroTricks]

Looking forward to you guys reviewing the 2023 Niken GT when it's released.

[@Pch100]

I'm looking forward to the rest of the series

[@CPUspeed]

Cant wait to try one. Looking forward to series.

[@Certago]

Love it, tested it, would get one if I was in the market and had the money. Feels so Uber stable over all kinds of surfaces, real advantage!

[@nathr2012]

Filtering next to kerbs would be my main concern

[@davidhardstaff8110]

Don't give a s34t what others think I'd like to try one

[@junglejim8781]

Hope there will good choice of 15 inch tyres for it 👌

[@videonunta]

Any extra grip you get is from the extra weight. Weights being equal, you wouldn't get any more grip by doubling the number of wheels since by doing this you are halving the weight on each of them and thus halving the grip. Since the Niken weighs 35% more than the MT-09 it's based on, it has 35% more grip.

A few track days will tell a lot about this bike. Yamaha stock tiers are not so good some Michelin or Battlax would be better.

[@zanathzanath7236]

Unfair questions against a tourer, the niken is a sport tourer that comfortable all day👍

[@huziimoto]

Everyone who's for is calling it a motorbike well, call me a nitpicker, I'm all for it and I would go as far as calling it a motorcycle but the "bi" in bike mean 2 so it must be a motortrike. In fact it's probably the first supertrike!
