Competition
... sometimes there is no rational reason to make an object, sometimes it is only marketing; I remember that when Honda built the CX 500 Turbo other manufacturers also did it ... for what reason? It wasn't there, there were already very powerful motorcycles without the turbo and it was only an ephemeral moment.
Question: what is the use of a three-wheeled scooter?
Apparently those with only two are enough, yet there are many three-wheeled scooters today and the advantages are few, at least in the eyes of those who use the vehicle "just for fun"; but in everyday use?
The perspective changes though little, greater safety and stability but greater weight and bulk, same habitability ...
Strange is not it? Yet many of them are sold, the answer (for me) is obvious and those who own one don't take it badly ...
The world of two-wheeled vehicles is mainly made up of people who see it as a passion but also as a way to experience different sensations than driving a car and those who build them know it, sensations ... this is the answer!
The Yamaha Niken from sensations that no other motorcycle (to date) makes you feel, the Japanese manufacturers are in eternal competition to move the market but also to compete with each other, among them it is a matter of honor that is expressed by producing a variety of solutions techniques that we customers enjoy. Am I wrong? Posterity will judge...but be careful, indecision is an ugly beast
