Yamaha Niken 2019

Yamaha Niken 2019

The Yamaha Niken is a bike that many have judged too quickly. Yes, it looks a bit odd. Yes, it’s heavy. Yes, in the long run, the front end demands more attention than a standard bike. But it works. It handles surprisingly much like a conventional bike, offers good ergonomics and inspires confidence where other bikes require the rider to work harder. It’s particularly interesting on the second-hand market, as the small market and limited demand can keep prices down.

Extremely high confidence at the front

a surprisingly motorbike-like riding experience

good ergonomics

a powerful CP3 three-cylinder engine

a solid basis for touring with accessories.

heavy

less direct steering response at the front wheel

increased maintenance requirements due to two front wheels and four fork legs

Husqvarna Norden 901 2023

Husqvarna Norden 901 2023

On the one hand, the Husqvarna Norden 901 with its lavish standard equipment is a very suitable bike for travelling, but on the other hand, with its lengthy travel, lively engine and active ergonomics, it does not shy away from adventures. The low centre of gravity is ingenious thanks to the low tank, which makes life on and off the beaten track easy.

Great engine with high practicality

Great engine reponsiveness

Linear torque curve

Hardly any vibrations in the saddle

High-quality electronics package

Height of travelling comfort

Stable, sporty suspension

Accessible yet exciting character

Good wind and weather protection for the lower half of the body

Tough as nails

Unpleasant heat development in the calf area at low speeds

Unsteady engine running after a cold start

Engine dies off quite easily due to low flywheel mass

Due to the width of the seat, the bike is quite high even with lengthy legs

Poor wind protection and turbulence on the helmet and upper body

Rear brake is difficult to modulate
