RE: Yamaha Niken - rboe - 01-25-2020
Out with my usual riding buddies to Bartlett Lake and I ran into one at the Bartlett Lake turn off. Ended up talking to him at the end of the road. Impressive machine and if I had room, and money, I might consider one. The rider had owned it only a couple months and was really impressed with it.
Might end up riding with him in the future.

don't know how many of you guys watch the TV show SWAT, but last night the LA Swat was in Tokyo, transporting a prisoner, and he was busted loose and one of the guys busting him loose was riding a Niken

Finally got out for an hour yesterday, was so happy to be riding. Sunny 51° F
Late start this year, March I had my 2nd heart attack.
I didn't ask the doctor about riding, she knows I have a motorcycle though?
Stayed very relaxed for the ride..............

This one has slowed me it seems, I am staying off the CR500.
Check out this Niken ride in the rain review. His 1st ride on a Niken, he states how you can concentrate less on the road.
I have noticed this, I am looking further up the road more than I normally do.
The side roads he rides are very like the riding out here.
I haven't been out in the rain yet, I do plan on a rainsuit and will be this summer.
