koth442 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I haven't seen it personally, but I've got a facebook friend who is a salesman at PCP motorsports in Sacramento CA. They just got a new Niken in. 15,999 MSRP. '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mikerbiker Posted December 20, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted December 20, 2018 It's not my style but for those who need more than 2 wheels it looks alot more rideable than the Canams and trikes IMO... Big question: does it need 1 beak or 2?? Discuss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should probably ask if 10W-40 car oil will work while you're at it... hahaha I think it's a neat concept and allow people who can't handle 2 wheels to ride. It's the most "motorcycle" like 3 wheel thing yet! '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isthatahemi Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Not sure how a 580# bike that doesn't self level helps anyone who "can't handle 2 wheels"? It's a machine for riders who have money, are safety conscious, who want to be around to spend their money, and strangely, can't see the downside to 80% more front end grip, all the time. It ticks all the boxes for me, back on a bike after 20 years away, and all the reviews say it's a blast. As for the price? Who cares, what is $20k really, in the grand scheme of things.

isthatahemi Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Thanks! Looking forward to a relaxed Florida panhandle tour next week! Having owed a Spyder, I anticipate being constantly asked questions, and lots of enthusiastic attention from everyone except the jaded close-minded bikers & the Harley crowd. Later this summer a "Best Biking Roads" from Montana to southern California tour! My wife and I like to hit the twisties aggressively, 2 front wheels should help ensure a safer experience, with gravel, wet patches and other usual items one encounters on a mountain road.

You got my attention there, that sounds like one hell of a ride. Not sure of your route, but dont pass up Idaho Oregon or Wyoming. There are a lot of amazing roads along the way. I have 2 week-long rides planned into Northern California from Washington and an 11 day trip through Utah and Colorado in September. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isthatahemi Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Sounds like a blast. Our route will meander to Beartooth pass, following that to Lolo pass, working out way through Oregon, criss-crossing California through a bunch of the best ribbons, and down to Coronado. Follow the coast all the way back to Gibsons BC, and then back across the prairies. 3 weeks to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We rode Beartooth Pass in September then Chief Joseph into Cody, Bighorn Mountains, Tensleep Canyon, Thermopolis and the Tetons into Idaho! Amazing ride! When you cross Lolo to Lewiston you can either take 3 South to Enterprise - Rattlesnake Grade, You WONT regret it! OR South through Grangeville and Cambridge, then North into Hells Canyon! Epic riding either way you go. Enjoy ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member whistler Posted April 1, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted April 1, 2019 Recently completed a trip to Pristina, Kosovo for Uncle Sam and and saw a Niken roll past me and then take a left-hand sweeper. I watched it as long as possible and it appeared to handle the sweeper nice and smooth. Wish I'd had my camera in hand; it looked pretty competent. 👍 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT (Annabelle) 2013 Suzuki V-Strom DL650 (Juliette) 2013 Yamaha FJR 1300 (Rachel) 2008 Suzuki Bandit 1250S (Fiona) 2006 Honda VFR800 (Jenny) 2005 Suzuki V-Strom DL650 (Hannah) 2003 Honda Shadow Sabre VT1100 (Veronica) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
