Yamaha Niken

[Gone in 60]

The carbon on the decal and the exhaust compliment each other nicely.

I wonder if people you pass, feel the pressure wave from your bike.. it looks like it is pointed directly out to the side..

I kinda like the exhaust.. it seems to be the new look in pipes.. I usually don't get a tank protector until I damage the paint.. then I know how big of a sticker I need to cover up my abuse..

I'm wondering what everyone thinks of my "Ride the Revolution" tank protector.
Picture it without the white paper.



I wasn't sure about the carbon fiber but it matches the seat pretty good.
I'm 40/60 on it.

I also put on my Akrapovic exhaust. I had to use the aftermarket cat also, living in Mass. Sounds nice without being at all annoying. The cat really tones it done.


I'm 100% on this accessory.

Let me know about the sticker.......

ACK

Like the look of the stubby.

+1 That is funny!

I do like the tank sticker. I bought two thinking I might cut off the carbon looking part and leave just the black. I think because it's thick and gelish, it would look hacked up on the edges.
Another conflict is with the sticker the bike looks used. Without she still looks so new......
I peeled off the octane warning sticker on the tank and all of sudden she didn't have that showroom look anymore.
I ordered 2 more and managed to get the 2nd one back on straight and bubble free.
Once I adventure off road a few times it will all be for nothing, I'm just delaying it.

I still have to make sure I can pick this thing up alone before I head out into the bush. If I tipped over on a downhill slope, lifting up hill would be trouble.

I'm joining you guys on the dumbell workouts, but that's another thread.

Great little video of Niken nudity, I wish it wasn't so covered up.
The GT's front end has all black links.

Some complain the Niken is to wide for Lane Splitting/Filtering.

Not so:

I must be getting old.....watching this gave me a few nervous clinches
I'm glad there's no lane splitting here......or traffic

OH! Happy New Year, all.

Fun share ACK. From behind the lens I couldn't really discern if it was a Niken or a standard motorcycle. Not sure if I would use the Niken in Mexican urban lane splitting, but heck, seems fine otherwise.

For the rally.....

39L Yamaha Top Case. Perfect for my solo riding, helmet fits great + a little.
OE side bags and a backpack, I'm ready..............
