Did the same recall lookup for Australia. As of March 29, 2021, there were 55 Nikens in all of Australia. Appears to be a combo of 40 regular Nikens (model MXT850J) and 15 Niken GTs (model MXT850DK). 

REC-001535 - Yamaha Motor Australia Pty Ltd - YAMAHA FJR1300, MT10, MT09, NIKEN, XT1200 2013 - 2021 | Vehicle Recalls

Interestingly, the Niken VINs for Australia were NOT sequential and there were breaks in their numerical sequences. 

Updating country totals as follows. This brings worldwide estimate to:

2018 Nikens =1532,

2019 Nikens=1553, and

2020 Nikens =2258

Still no serial numbers confirmed for 2021 Nikens. Current worldwide total of 5343!

Country representation so far includes: Australia (55 as of March 29, 2021, recall data), Canada, China (estimated at 23-24) Czechoslovakia, France, Hong Kong (~20-30), Hungary (1), Italy (<120), Israel, Japan, New Zealand (only 14), Philippines (1), Portugal, Serbia, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand (10), Turkey, UK, US (280 all model year 2019), UK (England/Northern Ireland/Scotland/Wales = 302, as of December 8,2020).

Number 39 JYARN582XJA000025 on your Aussie list is mine. Ex-Demo std Niken with 1700k (1000+ miles)on it. Picked up Friday, have put on SW Motech crash bars and sump guard, SHAD Pro tank ring, SHAD rear rack today hopefully. Dealer threw in chain guard, radiator guard and heated grips for 2/3 RRP. 

Centre stand to be ordered and perhaps comfort (heated) seat. Tasmania does get coldish.

Screen upgrade required also, leaning towards Givi D2122S.

Finding it hard to get hold of 3P mounting kit for SHAD panniers, but will keep searching.

What a machine!
