Supporting Member maximNikenGT Posted December 18, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted December 18, 2020 Was searching the Yamaha Japan site for Niken updates for 2021 and ran across this article for a special Niken owners meeting/rally in Japan. What was of special interest was what they created as souvenirs for this special owners meeting: Who the hell wouldn't want a set of Niken double swords?!? Don't know what the thing to the right is though. Anyone have any ideas or can read Japanese Kanji characters? 2019 Niken GT "Motorcycles - the brand is not important, the fact that you ride is."

pilninggas Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I follow a few Japanese Niken riders on twitter. It seems to be massive over there. Custom paint jobs, mods galore and a huge following. The japs sure know how to do cult vehicles. Wish some of the niken stuff would disseminate to the rest of us.

Would love to get access to one of the Japanese Niken owner sites. If you have links that you wouldn't mind sharing that would be great. One of the things I would love to do is set up an interview with the developers of the Niken in Japan. Obviously would need a translator but i think that would be super fun. 1 2019 Niken GT "Motorcycles - the brand is not important, the fact that you ride is."

pilninggas Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) i just follow some on twitter - i use the translate function to read about their travails and stuff. I tried joining a french niken forum, but it would let me (my french too poor, translate not sophisticated enough on the registration security page).

Supporting Member maximNikenGT Posted December 18, 2020 Author Supporting Member Share Posted December 18, 2020 Current cost of a Niken GT in Japan is 1,980,000 Yen. At current exchange rates that translates to $19163.39 USD or 15642.98 Euro. 価格・仕様:NIKEN - バイク・スクーター | ヤマハ発動機 Also some gorgeous shots of the Niken GT in red. フォトライブラリー:NIKEN - バイク・スクーター | ヤマハ発動機 2019 Niken GT "Motorcycles - the brand is not important, the fact that you ride is."

Supporting Member betoney Posted December 18, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted December 18, 2020 @maximNikenGT - I really like the red and satin black, especially the 2-tone front fenders, I would like something like that for the bikes. With all of the black on the bike, I wish the tank was red as well ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After meeting a fellow rider from Japan on the Facebook forum I just learned that these are actually chopsticks and chopstix holders! 2019 Niken GT "Motorcycles - the brand is not important, the fact that you ride is."
