December's Bike magazine has a test article about the Niken. Three riders give their before and after opinions. One is an ex cop turned riding instructor who was totally sceptical. The second was Gary Johnson, motorcycle racer, and the third was the magazines editor. All favoured the experience ranking the bike 8/10. Gary Johnson reckoned 98% of road riders would ride better and faster. The confidence inspiring front end was the key, but all unsure what market it's aimed at.

That whole front end would be a money pit, even before servicing the rest of the bike.2 front wheels, 2 front tyres to replace, FOUR Suspension struts to service. 2 sets of brakes...... this Bike will help line Yamaha pockets.
