Yamaha NIKEN GT

The Yamaha NIKEN was first unveiled at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show, and official sales began in September 2018 (model year 2019).

The model is distinguished by a unique concept, which is based on the use of two front wheels and the proprietary LMW (Leaning Multi Wheel) system, which allows a three-wheeled motorcycle to get the control of a two-wheeled one. Prior to the NIKEN model, similar technologies were used in the Yamaha Tricity scooter.

The Yamaha NIKEN was based on the engine from the MT-09 series - an in-line 3-cylinder liquid-cooled block with a volume of 847 cm³, producing 115 hp. power and almost 88 Nm of torque.

The frame of the motorcycle is a steel tube structure with aluminum elements such as a swingarm. The front suspension is a combination of two inverted telescopic forks per wheel, fully adjustable. The LMW system achieves the effect of fully independent suspension at the front, ensuring optimal traction in virtually all conditions and in all weather conditions.

In parallel with the regular version of NIKEN, the NIKEN GT is offered on the market. This modification features a high touring glass, a more comfortable seat, heated arms, side trunks, a trunk, two 12V sockets and a central stand.

NIKEN series models also feature all of Yamaha's latest electronic technologies:

  • Electronic Throttle (YCC-T - Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle)
  • ABS
  • Cruise control
  • Traction control (TCS - Traction Control System)
  • Selectable engine operating mode (Selectable D-Mode)
  • Quick Shift (QSS - Quick Shift System)
  • Assist and Slipper clutch
