Yamaha Niken GT. This is the first one I've seen on the road. I'd love to take one for a spin!

Cool. Only place I see these is on the Tour de France coverage every year.

Wonder if you can get a knee down &/or scrape the pegs?
Nice photo, BT!

Too many unnecessary parts for me...and you can still tip over!

I'm sure that Yamaha pays for that privilege.

Both...watch this video. https://www.youtube.co​m/watch?v=xxpwrv1Mogo

In 2019 more then 1000 motorcyclists came together in Bad Salzgitter. It is to memorize the bikers that died in that year. From 5 cities bikers drive to Braunzweig. They do this every year.

A rented one...

Did you rent it? If so, what did you think?

My son did. He took it to a mountain/beach tour. He said it was steady and comfortable and an eye catcher. But since he got his Harley he did not rent anymore...

Thanks IP. I've been riding since I was a teenager and currently own 3 bikes. I'd rent a Niken in a heartbeat if I could, but the only bikes for rent in the Phoenix area are Harleys and BMWs.

Solo rider on a mountain road near Prescott, AZ. I also posted the first image on a B&W thread here. The second image is of the same rider heading the other direction over 2 hours later.

The bike is a Honda Valkyrie. Model year around 2000.

Yamaha R1M. Meant for the track, but this was shot on the street. Did you notice that he's keeping an eye on me?

Awesome photo, Mike! I'll bet that rider would love a copy of that!
Captured on a road near Scottsdale?

Thanks Doug! It was shot near Canyon Lake in the Tonto National Forest...about an hour's drive from my home.
