Wannabe Newbie...

If the moon align well ... I am one week away of buying a used -19 Niken GT...only have to sell one of my rig (-48 Indian). Buyer should be here next Tuesday. Since a serious accident I have trouble with my right arm (radial nerve) and I do not feel sure enough to be on fast two wheels! I sold most of my vintage bikes or added sidecars to the one I could not let go; I have a Can Am Spyder too (3rd one!!) and I feel confident owning a Niken!

I have mainly one question: to initiate a turn do you have to do like on a bike i.e. counter steer or like a sidecar/Spyder turn the handlebars in the direction you want to go? I am sure it is a silly question, but I want to test the bike this weekend and kind of mentally prepare myself!!!

I have to decide, if I buy her, if I want to keep on the 3 wheelers collection or the Yamaha'commercial flops way (I own a very nice TX750 already...).

Pic of the one I'd like to own (topcase will be gone in a NYC second!), can't wait to try the 3 cylinders (one the greatest type of engine IMHO).

Welcome to the forum. Niken rides exactly like a regular motorcycle, not at all like the Can Am.
