• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Very interesting = Three Wheeled Yamaha

    If you were to ask that question then you would need to ask how do the 3 wheel scooters have such good stability, and people who know have ridden then and declare them near uncrashable, and the answer to that my friend is centripital force counteracting gravity. ;)

    The 3 wheeled cycle market just got more interesting

    You drag your hand like this? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iyTa6XLTLKY# Also check out Pikes Peak run, do you ride your two wheels more agressively? Cant suggest you would on roads. Things will only improve from there.

    The 3 wheeled cycle market just got more interesting

    I dont understand your comment Chupaca, you lost all the benefits of two wheeling when you bought a planar suspension Spyder, anything else containing leaning that is effective is a move towards two wheeling?? :dontknow::dontknow:

    Helmet with Rear facing camera and HUD?

    Why get a HUD? Why get a HUD? when riding a normal bike you arent all over the mirrors so does the constant vision of a HUD provide a benefit or distraction?? Just get a car camera kit with a screen that replaces a rear mirror and then you have both an accident cam front and rear and a full...

    $10K Spyders for 2019

    The Have a lot of detuned ATV motors that they can whack a sportier cam in to get some more revs and keep torque. That and Rotax is in bed with them and so any and every rotax motor from glider motors etc that are quite efficient may be on the cards.

    $10K Spyders for 2019

    It will be interesting and it may be necessary depending on Yamaha entry price point to get legs in the door of dealers Vs the horrible whatever it was they called it. ech but it does open the market to new players without having to try and do it alone as a non-market distributed player.

    $10K Spyders for 2019

    Coz it was being thrown around I went and had a look at Patents because at $10k they have the have soime kind of magic to make it work and I didnt find any patents of anything in the way of clever little connectors or parts that would protect their investment in creating a low end bike. Its...

    $10K Spyders for 2019

    Definately hope not but for $10k you are going to not see much more that the frame wheels engine and rider I think? maybe they'll see it as a sunk cost in their future as a rider captured first to Spyders will then look for the next best Spyder in line over and over and the company wont treat...

    Leaning 3 Wheeler

    Its also the system you put on it that can limit the lean and with the Goldwing Im not sure anyone really tries to go to 45 let alone 60 degree lean angles and a video on their facebook page seems to confirm that ride example didnt exceed 45deg but I doubt that people are doing that on two...

    Leaning 3 Wheeler

    Yamaha Accessories I have a friend that has worked on Trikes for many years and he says he will get a look at the Yamaha net week hopefully, If Ive got some feedback I'll pass it on, but also interestingly he said he may buy one just to look at designing and selling aftermarket improvements. So...

    Leaning 3 Wheeler

    Harley made it but couldnt make the electronics package work is the reason I have heard. I dont think a trike will ever truly reach the ultimate lean angle on a two wheeler you just cannot achieve the offsets mechanically. But a leaning trike will make everyone but a boy racer a better rider...

    2018 Yamaha Nikon three wheeler

    Oh I got you, it must have been me that was not clear I was agreeing with you! :thumbup: Yep we are in total agreement except I know that suspension is not optimal because I know why its not optimal. Maybe it can keep up with a sportsbike ridden by someone else but ridden back to back the two...

    2018 Yamaha Nikon three wheeler

    Niken can "Nick off"!! lol The Niken was ugly as a prototype and they didnt change it for production. The claim some sports bike heritage to it but suspension like that isnt sportsbike handling but you CAN make sportbike handling suspension. They should have waited til the had the OR2T as a 3...

    New Electric 3 wheel vehicle from Oregon

    Britain have a white paper to have all road going vehicles on alternate fuels by 2050, Toyotas date just ties in nicely with that and more countries supporting that or whether that the pressure of an EU or UN edict they are trying to pan out will help determine more people trying to hit that...
