Supporting Member maximNikenGT Posted July 20, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted July 20, 2021 First time seeing a Niken actually driving in snow and with snow chains no less... 2 2019 Niken GT "Motorcycles - the brand is not important, the fact that you ride is."

Salish900 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Cool. People do this on two wheels without chains too. A Nikken would be far easier. I can just hear the engineers screeching of putting their beautiful machine to that use. Think of the scenes we've seen from WW2 of the Army Harley's running around in the snow with and without a side car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always amazed that even though I do regular keyword searches for yamaha niken other owners always see other videos I've never seen. 👍 2019 Niken GT "Motorcycles - the brand is not important, the fact that you ride is."

Pretty capable bike for it, too. Get some appropriate tires, and ride like you would in loose dirt, and it's all good. The Niken is probably pretty good for it, too; the second front contact patch and all. Downside is that it'd be REALLY hard to get good winters for the front tires, if not impossible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
