"future me"
gets here quicker than you think
The only issue with the Niken is, unlike the Piaggio scooter of the same ilk, the Yamaha will not stand on it's own. Even parked or at a light, you have to hold it up if it's not on the side stand. So in that regard I see no advantage over a similarly sized motorcycle. There may be some extra traction in a greasy corner, but the weight, cost and complexity may or may not make up for that depending on your point of view. I doubt if it's "impossible" to fall down on the thing, so for me, I doubt that it would be of much value.
