Podcast 550: Yamaha Niken - An Amazing Abomination
Listen now
Description
This week on our motorcycle podcast it's time to talk about the Yamaha Niken. Everyone's had a chance to try it, and everyone is impressed. Set aside the freak show imagery with it's double front wheels, and what you have left is an extremely capable sport touring bike, which is equally comfortable in rough twisty roads as it is doing 100mph freeway slabbing. In fact, Liza makes the declaration that a big triple engine is the best all around street bike engine you can get right now. Once you're on the bike, you forget that it's got 2 front wheels, and it just feels like a well planted machine ready to take you down any road in any conditions, and get you home safely. In our You Must Be Crazy segment, we look at a marketplace ad for a modified Ruckus scooter that the seller thinks is worth $10K. Even with the quality modifications, it's hard to believe anyone would pay this much. Would you? Lastly we finish up with announcements and emails. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Scottie, Naked Jim and Bagel. breakingawayadventures.com/misfits-rally-vol-2 Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com [email protected] www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew

This week on our motorcycle podcast we head down to the Quail Motorcycle Gathering, and everyone came away with damp knickers. Normally it would be from the amazing array of beautiful bikes, but this year it was the rain that got our undies wet. That still didn't stop us from having a good time...
