Beemer Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 I guess it will be 460! Edit: I didn't realize the FJ-09 was 462 wet so I'm guessing 508 lbs. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinyribs Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hmm...I see the Nikken as more of a FJ 09 (bigger tail vs a FZ09 )with a funky front end. The FJ 09 comes in wet at 465 lbs already. FJ 09 + another pair of forks( 20lbs for the pair- what I've weighed in the past) + another front wheel/tire/brake( roughly 30lbs) +all the mechanisms to make it work (I'm guessing easily 30 lbs) + massive fairing with "fenders" (Gonna guess around 20lbs for weight of the fairing plus innerstructure over an already existing FJ fairing ). 465 20 30 30 + 20 ------- 565 lbs. The tank on the Nikken probably gets big to meet the fairing. Add that dingleberry on the rear tire and the car-like mirrors, I'm gonna guess...around 580 lbs?

shinyribs Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 This Yamaha rep described it as similar to a Super Tenere in weight. What does a S10 weigh? Edit: 2018 Super Tenere specs at 575lbs wet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 My question about the Niken is, WHY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faffi Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Why not? I think it is good that they think outside the box. Current motorcycle riders are getting very old, but not too old to still enjoy riding. If we are to have good motorcycles made also in the future, those making them must make money. The best way is to grow the market, and I think it is good that they try. http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-california-motorcyclist-profile-20140825-story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyribs Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 If you watch the videos about the Niken, they explain the reason was for more front end grip. The tilting action of the front end is completely free ( zero resistance ), so the Niken still has to be balanced like any other motorcycle. The more I see it, the more I like it. Which really surprises me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
