ROTFLMAO, after reading the above comments. I wish I had more time to throw some more comments on the comments about the comments on the 2018 Yamaha NIKEN, but this week was so busy working on Total Motorcycle and the forums I just didn't get a chance to. Darn.

Re: #348: 2018 Yamaha NIKEN - VOTE NOW
Ok, I really, really don't know how to vote on this one, so I went with my first impression....
"Jaw Drop"
But that isn't a poll option so the closest was Awesome (for maybe all the wrong reasons!).
Would I ride one? Maybe, it's WEIRD as heck. Would I own one? I doubt it, I don't really want to own the "Griswold family truckster wagon" with 50% more of everything. Does it come with 2 oil filters too? Is two gear shift levers a option?
Original and unique, for sure, but just because it's original and unique doesn't make it good. This is one design I'd have to see in person... and again, if I saw it in person, I think I'd be speechless... some people buy super expensive cars to get a "jaw drop" so maybe the Griswold family wagon or 2018 Yamaha NIKEN would work for them too? It's cheaper than $150k!
I'm glad you all like this week's Cool Wall bike and offered up some great comments on it!

Total Motorcycle's Take-a-Way: Stand out or Stand Back? The new 2018 Yamaha NIKEN drew a lot of discussion this week on the Cool Wall as Yamaha drops a "shock bomb" on the populace. Even I don't know what say about it, other than it's VERY different and unique. Revolutionary for sure. What do you think?
Cool Wall Comment of the Week: "Drag it out on to the street, beat it with a club, stone it with rocks and then burn it with fire until it is nothing more then a bad memory and a melted pool of metal and plastic..." - Ceemes

What they all said^^^^
Do you think they gave the rider a storm trooper looking outfit on purpose?
