petshark Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 My dealer told me a month or two ago that we would probably be able to order Nikens at cost. I don't quite remember if that came from Japan for from the European importer but I think the former. He was thinking aloud that he might get one because they are such great value but probably shouldn't as there is no demand to sell it later on. I agree that it would be a shame to see it go. I've only ever seen one on the road just the one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrett847 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I made my comments based upon info provided to myself from a industry source ,that states yes there will be another niken and it will be the euro 5 spec motor and a general refresh .If however it does not happen ,I will just have to keep mine going until I pack up riding .

Supporting Member maximNikenGT Posted March 31, 2022 Author Supporting Member Share Posted March 31, 2022 Connecting the thread from another user post indicating that their local Yamaha dealer indicated that the only reason they shipped so few Nikens to the US was to secure the patent on Leaning Motor Wheel (LMW) technology. Anyone knowledgeable in patent law can comment on this? Because if this is true, that suggests to me that Yamaha used the Niken as a halo project to really be the initial cornerstone for invasion of smaller displacement Yamaha Tricities and future Yamaha models that leverage the LMW front end technology. 2019 Niken GT "Motorcycles - the brand is not important, the fact that you ride is."

Supporting Member maximNikenGT Posted May 9, 2022 Author Supporting Member Share Posted May 9, 2022 Well well well. Cycle World dropped this article in Feb 2022 suggesting that Nikens will continue into 2023 with the new EU emissions compliant engine... https://www.cycleworld.com/story/motorcycle-news/yamaha-reveals-2022-yzf-r9-niken-models-new-documents/?fbclid=IwAR291RiXlnMqfU7wmPIwrd3CukHJYH7kLUICrGGA6GnlE-qv15m118v3s3k 1 1 2019 Niken GT "Motorcycles - the brand is not important, the fact that you ride is."

I think they would want to keep up support for the Tour De France with the Niken, good PR. Wish I could find a new one here in the US.

Supporting Member maximNikenGT Posted June 28, 2022 Author Supporting Member Share Posted June 28, 2022 Stumbled across this on the Yamaha Japan site where it looks like one can still order 2022 Nikens up until the production limit is reached.
