That front end shot looks like two maniacs riding way too close together.

That or conjoined twins on two bikes.   crazy2

I'm sure you're joking but for those who don't know the Yamaha Niken is a reverse trike with two front wheels that lean.

More a mismatch of riders than a close match of motorcycles.  Honestly neither of the riders was high quality.

Nice roads.

Cool video. Thanks for posting.

Great scenery, road snd camera placement.

I assume you don’t counter steer with the Niken...would be a weird transition from a regular bike.

Yes you do counter steer. You ride it just like a normal bike, only there is more front end grip.At least that's what the road testers in Rider have to say. Also, you use the kickstand because it will fall over and it will low side too.
