Just wrapping up a trip in Northern Italy operating out of Milan. Hit Milan, Turin,  Lake Como, Varenna, and Genoa. Was struck by the popularity of all the MP3 Piaggios in Milan and then remembered that one of the highest country volume of Nikens in the world is Italy. One would prefer the smaller footprint of the MP3s in major cities like Milan where parking is challenging and the roads are more challenging for two wheeled vehicles  due  to the volume of railroad/metro tracks all throughout the cities. Three wheels are much safer on these kind of operating conditions.

2023 Niken 00539 arrived France 15/06/2023, England  Yamaha 19/06/2023, delivered to IV22 2JU 27/06/2023

First confirmed 2023 Niken GT owner! It's a high number so interesting to see if it's a continuous run of at least 539 Niken GTs for production year 2023.

I am in Hong Kong and I am waiting for the delivery of my Niken GT 2023.   The estimate of 20 - 30 is too high when despite I go out with my Pcar every Sunday, I have never seen any Niken or Niken GT running on the road.    I am sure that the total number of Niken / Niken GT in Hong Kong may only be 5 - 10 .

Special ask for Niken owners who reside  in  Countries outside of the  United States  please - need some help looking up local regulatory authorities in your country who handles motorcycle recalls to see whether they show numbers of Nikens impacted in your country to help with worldwide country estimates please.  Not only do I not know which local authority would handle your country's local motorcycle recalls, but also need this help with non-English countries due to language translation challenges. 

General tips for recall look ups: some  countries search by make and model ex. Yamaha Niken, while some go by product code ex. MTX850J, while others go by actual VIN. I've encountered one country (Canada) that actually listed the model name incorrectly (NIKKEN) so I'm sure not all searches will actually pull up correctly for their motorcycles.
