Links to gloves help tremendously too. I wear these https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-spx-air-carbon-gloves?kclid=770d6bc7-3d78-4ea9-b388-9450761d1b91&gclid=CjwKCAjwmufZBRBJEiwAPJ3Lpvqp-3jz59WmDc1-FRzuXTtypD6mqGJNFA3HiVj5yjk0KFGDwxhLshoCcDUQAvD_BwE

Ive ridden both the Gen I and Gen II VMax, it is indeed a monster. If Yamaha can get it to lean like the videos of the Niken and maintain the 200hp punch - Look Out!! A face lift wouldn't hurt either, the Gen II was HIDEOUS. id love to ride a Vmax version of this. It would probab;y cost around $20,000 USD but what a bike that would be. Spot on, this is the wrong version to put three wheels on. A cruiser with bad ass engine and three wheels to grip the corners better? That would be one hell of a bike.

So, $16,000 USD for the 2019 Yamaha Niken.

That is a ton of money. Maybe the price will fall lower?

Pretty good review !

UPDATE! Yamaha Niken to be priced USA $16,000 MSRP. Price of the Yamaha Niken in the USA is MSRP $16,000 USD. Ok, Yamaha Niken pricing in Hong Kong has been released at HK$168,800, according to Yamaha MLT Hong Kong. That would equal $21,500 USD in the USA. DAMN! Or 17,600 in Euros. WOAH! But, Lets remember that freaking everything is expensive in Hong Kong. As Motorcycle Magazine ponts out, in Hong Kong the Yamaha R-1 is priced at $198,000HK, which translates to $25,200 in USD. The R-1 does not cost $25,200 in USD. Using the math or REAL USA pricing, the Yamaha Niken would have an MSRP of around $18,000 USD, or around 16,000 Euros. This is alot of Guesswork. A lot of Guessing by alot of people going on. Would the Yamaha Niken sell at $18,000 or more? It better handle like no bike ever produced. Time will tel, and hey, by the time this bie hits the USA sales floor, our freinds around the world will be posting their reviews right here. Please post more MSRP reports below in this thread.

Guys and gals, Bike bandit has a pretty good helmet sale going on Bike Bandit helmet sale

Since I don't get to 40, let alone 45 degrees of lean anymore, I hadn't considered that question. At 46 plus degrees, whenever the outboard wheel "lifts" (or quits providing support/traction) will the Niken want to fall inward, straighten out, tighten up the curve or...? It seems like a Niken rider would want to know before finding the answer somewhere on the Tail of the Dragon. Considering the geometry for a minute, I predict that this bike requires less lean to turn sharply than a two wheeled bikes does. Has to do with that other wheel sliding out to counter balance. Again, it's like skiing down a mountain with two ski's. Almost the exact same operation as downhill skiing. Plus, I promise you hat the amount of guys and gals that dont go more than 45 degrees is a ton higher than we think. I know a lot of guys who THINK they lean that far that really don't.

Wow, this would have made a great tech tip in our tech tip section.

Please dont start new question posts in here. This section is for actual "Tech Tips". Go here to ask tech questions please! https://www.tracer900.net/forum/36-fj-09-tech-questions/

Thats why I only partner up with forum vendors that I have researched, vetted and know their reputations well.

I had posted in another thread to be careful here. Nels from 2wdw said this T boy software had alot of holes and the tune was not up to par. He had a few other choice words as well that I won't repeat here.

That is a good deal on those boots.

Great write up, thanks for taking the time to do that. Tech tips makes life easier for fellow forum members and really, that is why I created this forum in the first place. Great job!

Thanks man I'm ordering one of these right now. That's a freaking awesome helmet design. Damn, that's 7 helmets I'll have now in my collection. I have seven in a row hanging on my wall in the man cave!
