Awesome analysis of the Niken, I have a 2019 Niken Gt currently with 6k miles on it now. No issues with it so far, except with the front right fork's they are starting to seep at the seals. Will have to address that soon, however it's double the cost to fix...lol. I very much like the 23 Niken Gt with all the upgrades, especially the larger dash, and more room in the bags, it's too bad that they will not sell this in America. I'm not sure why. I did install a Akrapovic full exhaust approved titanium, much improved performance and sound. I love the attention I get with this bike - good or bad it's the best GT bike I have ever had the honor to own. Thanks again for show casing the 23 Niken Gt.
Only two types of riders: those who hate the Niken and those who have ridden it. ;) Great bike, but many of us would want a CP4 engine based version. Putting aero winglets between the two wheels for more downforce should be easy.
A wonderful analysis, haven't heard anyone else offer a breakdown on the Niken's front suspension and their Garmin integration on the TFT. It would be nice to see this compared to the new GSX-S1000 GX
I agree, bikers should indeed be open minded on this incredible engineering feat from Yamaha. The looks do take some getting used-to but after reading and watching a dozen or more reviews I'm at peace with the looks and would indeed be a buyer. Sadly you can't get them here in Australia now, in Aug 2024, as I've made enquiries. A few used ones around but they're the first model and a quite a bit 'used'. Thanks for a great review!
Mine IS certainly used, 106438kms worth of use here in Victoria, It has just recently developed a weep from one of the fork tubes which I am hope to get sorted next week.
Also bought one yesterday. Pure joy in the corners

Very informative and two points I haven't heard other testers mention, the front end going light at speed and the limited tyre choices on the front

3 types....you forgot those that haven't ridden it but think it's fantastic 🙂
Downforce in the front with all this weight you have enough 😂😂
I think I would love this....AND it looks great!

I hope they offer these in the US. A nice option for non-aggressive touring.
How come both the forks are on the same side of each wheel? Why not one heavy one since they move in tandem?
