They may not be developing FI 2 strokes but at least Yamaha is thinking up some other neat concepts: https://newatlas.com/2018-yamaha-niken- ... ler/51895/

I am not in the market for this, but if the time ever comes when continuing to ride requires 3 wheels, it would be cool to have another option over a Spyder or a traditional big-ass Harley or Goldwing trike....

Ok Yamaha, now get to work on that 300 2T with electric start that I have been waiting for....

whilst I admire the engineering, I'm having a hard time suppressing the gag reflex :barf:

That thing should have amazing front braking power!


When Ken and I raced PikesPeak in 2011, there was an engineering project that was being raced. I cant remember the donor bike (Kawasaki ZRX11?), but it had some sort of two wheeled leaning front end. Seemed like they were still tuning it and they didnt do well.
