The "Bikebiz" website tells me it's a 2019 model.

I like it, and early reports are that it handles quite well. 85 of them are already in the country

If the extra traction up front allows for cornering faster then I would like it too.

Saw one at the Moto expo in Melbourne on the weekend. Not my cup of tea but as has been said, apparently they handle very well.

I really like the Niken, great concept, cant wait for a touring version to come out, a friend of mine has one of these Gileras, I've ridden it several times, rides just like a normal scooter, except really sure footed in the slippery stuff,

I suppose would need to ride it, but it would be safer & you can lean it so not like a trike, still like a normal bike with more front end damping and traction. bit strange looking, but when your riding u can't see the bike yourself, so if it feel's good who cares.one question I would like answered is, do you think it needs round bike tyres at the front? or do you think could get away with a flat tread car type tyres at the front and get improved wear? what do you think? as three new tyres ( unless someone offering a new set of tyres and get one free )

Hey loopie. Think you mean YSS. Looked at the site, they have some nice kit. When you say he has a few of them, do you mean old Yams or suspension options? Cheers

Plenty of fat, ugly women find someone to root or fall in love with them, I expect this thing will be no different.

Its definitely not me , same for the scooter versions ,and yes they are quite rare here... Europe is another thing though , on visiting Rome and Paris these things are the best thing going, as bikes are allowed to filter at any intersection or traffic block ,the scooter and trike people find any way to the front and pro launch on green or a gap ,the guys with the trikes don't have to put their feet down at all, as both these city's have stacks of narrow roads with stop start being the order of the day they make perfect sense.
The twin wheels on the front mean they can judge a gap as it approaches .
Cheers.

This should be a good outback tourer, has an in-built bullbar on it already. More of a possum bar but it is there.
